Just wondering if anyone knows how to stop the light in the dash from blinking? I checked the post in the library and nothing there.
The lights not supposed to blink. Check your connections again. You did something wrong.

what method did you use to disable them?
If you bypassed the relay, the dash light will blink. The only 2 ways to stop it is to remove the instrument cluster and a) cover the back of the overlay where the DRL indicator is with black electrical tape, or 2) desolder the LED.
I haven't done it yet, but I'm going to at some point this weekend when I'm working on my car, so I read the little how to in the library. I have a '97 and was trying to figure out how to get rid of them, I was either going to get rid of the bulbs since I never use high beams anyway, or bypass the relay. The how-to I read said to pull the fuse and then run ajumper on the relay to make the hi-beams work right but the fuse on mine ties the DRL with I believe the PCM ( I think, I was reading the panel cover).
BTW, this is the How To I was reading:
Quote:
Open the door on the fuse panel (the one inside the car). The door shows a map of the fuses and such. There is a relay that is marked DRL. Remove this Relay by simply pulling it out. Now the DRL's are disabled.
Two side effects though.
1) the DRL light inside the cars blinks when the DRL's should be on.
2) High beam on the passenger side no longer work.
side effect number one. not solved yet.
side effect number two. Look at the DRL relay and find the prongs #30 and #87a. Now get a little jumper wire and put it where the two prongs are when the relay in inserted. This will fix the high beam problem.
Here's the problem. I don't have that relay in the fuse panel and there's no indication for it on the map. There is a fuse, but on the map it's labeled as "CLS/DRL". According to the manual, it's for the cluster, DRLs, and also the PCM. I'm guessing if I pull this fuse, the car won't run, at the least the guages won't work.
i have this same problem, as soon as i take the car out of park my passenger side light blinks and so does the light on my cluster.
i have a 99 sunfire, i dont know what In2johnny's vehicle is, but what causes these problems? and how do i fix mine?

if you are wanting to bypass the relay (the now old skool method), here are the correct instructions...

Works like a charm... 3 years and no issues with it.
good find kardain, thanks!

Nice. Thanks for finding that for me. I really like the part that says "all you have to do is pull the cluster". That cracks me up. But at least I know how to do it now. Thanks, man.
No prob... In fact, I submitted that one shortly after doing my DRL disable. (the lengthy 2-part process one, not the "all you have to do is remove your cluster" one)
