thanks.

In that case, the running light relay module should be located in the same place as the picture below. The running light module is the black box to the right of the steering column with the brown and white label.

I think they cause more issues. I have seen a Yaris twice now, with the day times on and no tail lights at night. I stopped one and said, your lights are not on. lol She said, yes they are, I said NO, they are the daytime lights, you have to turn the headlight switch.

Yes,

I found the relay. It's different from yours :(

My car is Left side driven 2010 Yaris LS(Canadian Model)

The relay is under the (i don't know how to say in English.) place for putting personal things. at the right side (passenger side) near the air condition air filter. it is at the right side under the passenger airbag cancelattion button.

when i unplug the wires the headlights never on. if i turn the lights on or off...

your part number is 82810-52040 but mine is 82810-52060 :(

so i have to plug it back to power headlights :(

(sorry for my bad English.)

Glovebox or glove compartment.

(I doubt a lot of them get used mainly for carrying gloves, though.)

I think there is something different to disable the daytime running lights in the Canadian models. It is federal law that the lights must be on at all times, and I am sure that is why there is a different box to control them.

I found the 82810-52060 DRL module listed in the parts catalog from Japan. I have the wiring diagram for it, as well. It is wired into the car a little bit differently from the one on our US cars.

Looking at the wiring diagram, I believe that you can disable the daytime running lights, but still have the headlights function correctly by cutting the blue wire, which is next to the violet wire. After cutting the wire, you would need to tape or wire cap the two ends.

If you try it, cut it about 5 cm from the blue connector, to leave enough to reconnect it, if it doesn't work (Although, I am fairly confident that it will work).

When you say nothing changed, do you mean that the running lights still remained on?

Your Canadian one may be the same as the US ones were prior to 2010 (which means that the procedure from the beginning of this thread would work). If it's the same as the European one, then as we saw with Kaya B's, this procedure wouldn't work.

[yaris2010RS]

lol, nvm, read back a bit and saw we are still working on it

[yaris2010RS]

jsut a thought to consider...the DRL will stay off if the hand break is up..... maybe if we can confuse the relay into believing it is up all the time.... i studying electro-mechanical engineering in school so if you could send me a wire schematic maybe i can be of some assistance?

If the brake up works, then you definitely have the US style DRL module, as the European one doesn't have a parking brake switch input. In that case, the simple method will work for you...

Yes, removing the lower column cover gives the quickest access to it.

[yaris2010RS]

okay, successfully disabled them, thanks alot. anyone interested in buying the item off me i'm willing to sell. very easy to install/remove.

also disabled clutch position starter sensor thingy.... i found it very annoying as i liuke to start my car without fully getting in and depressing the clutch all the way past floorboards, through firewall as the car will onyl start once the clutch is in the engine compartment.....or at least thats how it feels.....

How? Did I miss a DIY for that?
