Archived from groups: alt>autos>honda (more info?)

I have an intermittent problem with Daylight Running Lights in my 96 Accord.
My Daylight Running Lights fail to come on and it's indicating light on the
dashboard comes on.
This is only happening after the car has been run for a while, tuned off
then turned on again while still hot. It does not happen when you first
start the car, nor does it came on if you run the car for a long time when
started from cold.
When that happens I also loose the High Beam on the passenger side only.
My local electrical shop already changed a couple of things and all the
bulbs but no success.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

------------------------

The lugs in the bulb connectors can get weak, from being yanked on and
off too many times, but more likely your Low Beam 'cut relay' is at
fault. They get welded after a long time, so they're both in the OPEN
and CLOSED positions at the same time. The wiring on the Accord and
Odyssey DRL are just plain WIERD. You should resolder the DRL relay
terminals first,(exactly like the MAIN RELAY problem) but if that
doesn't fix it, swap out the low cut relay. It's probably above your
brake pedal, paired with another relay.
