Disable Day-Time Running Lights?

[ontarian_frog]

sorry, should we start a faq / Diy theard for the 09's?

Hey guys, just to let you know there are 2 body types for the Aveo.

The T200 covers:

04-06 Sedans
04-08 Hatch

The T250 covers:

07+ Sedans
09+ Hatch

Therefore any information you guys need shouldn't be too hard to find. Of course there are slight differences from year to year, but the main stuff should be the same (ie: Fuse block, DRL setup...etc).

Of course, starting in 09, you guys have a new engine, but the body type is the same.

the 09 aveo has a fuse in the side of the dash labeled DRL...

I've never been to a drive in movie before. We don't have any.

i just pulled the fuse when i did it. simplest way and doesn't affect anything.

i live on a hill, and strated my car all the time with the ebrake on.

the lever has a switch that turns the lights off, yes, but they come back on as soon as you let the lever off ?

are you sure you don't just pull the ebrake and see them go off, walk out and check and they are off. but then come on as soon as you let the brake off and are moving?

That probably exactly what he did. I thought mine were off too before i pulled the fuse because with the ebrake on they were off. until i noticed the light hittin the apartment wall in front of me everytime i released it. haha.

just pull the drl fuse and you're good. it doesn't effect your gauge lights (like my old truck), nor headlights or anything. simple fix.

I do have the BASE model 09 aveo5 though. only factory option i have is AC and thats cause i told them i won't buy it without it so they installed it for me. i don't know if LT versions or anything is different (i highly doubt they're different)

All the aveos are the same, the DRL headlights turn on with a 45watt trigger whenever the e-brake is disengaged. On 09 aveos the fuse is in the box on the drivers side of the dash. 04-08 aveo however I think you have to unplug the DRL relay under the driver side of the dash. I think it's grey.

yeah i have my ebrake engaged and then turn on my car and they dont come on, or the fuse things sounds easy too. the only problem is that you need to turn your headlights on in a contruction zone or they could give you a ticket

lol I just posted that one page back, I put a switch on my handbrake so I wouldn't have to actually engage my handbrake.
