To Frank....I have a 91 and no daytime running lights. Can you explain?
Also, noticed that if I leave the headlights on and take out the key,
headlights go off and the side markers stay on. I guess this is to prevent
dead battery, but would like the whole light system to turn off. I like to
drive with headlights on at all times and this would help by just leaving
them on all the time and they would come on when key is inserted. Thanks,
Michael.
