Daytime running lights on a 98 H1...

[SELWA]

Go to Canadian Tire and the module costs $25 for daylight running lights. My H1 mechanic put it on for me since he was doing the safety and I was running out of time as well. I also had mine imported so I know what you may be going through!

you wouldn't happen to know another way to discribe it to the guys at Canadian Tire would you? I actually started with them because I was told the exact same thing to start this off but when I went there, nobody knew what I was talking about and they didn't know of any possible solutions.

Thanks!

Seeing that Canadian Tire is the only licenced facility to do out of country inspection(why I have no idea) they should know what A daytime running light module is, if not they shouldn't be doing the inspections.

They seem to know what a daytime running module would do in theory but they dont seem to know what part to buy to make it work.
The guys at part source had a module that I bought tonight but I notice that it wants you to get a feed off of a spark plug wire (I assume to see if the engine is running).... how do you work around that on a diesel? (this is my first diesel)

Thx

Spark plug wire? I doubt it. Maybe an ignition feed? which would be A 12v supply with key in on position. Ignition power. Not battery power which is A 12v feed all the time. Or go to your gm dealer and give them this parts number 12370445. Just went and got that from our parts dept.

I checked and it is using the spark plug wire to determine if the engine is actually running. the lights wont come on with just the key being in the run position, then need to know the engine is functioning. (apparently)

How would I do that with diesel? Or a work around.

The module you mentioned using the spark plug is the right one. CTC sells them. I bought one but returned it when my mechanic was going to do it for me since he also did the safety. I'll have a look under the dash and see what he wired up. Funny thing is that now it seemed to stop working. As long as you pass the inspection then it doesn't matter.
