I did a search and found a ton of threads regarding replacement of DRL, but I am trying to locate the DRL module on my 2007 TL. About a week ago my dash DRL light popped on and my DRLs are not working. Regular headlight beams are fine only DRLs are off. Checked emergency brake and fuse. Heard that the modules sometimes have solder problems.
I just can't seem to find any information on where to locate the module.
Any help would be appreciated.

 

Have you checked your bulbs by chance?


Pretty but go simple then difficult when troubleshooting.

 

I've never heard of the modules going bad.

As suggested, try checking the bulbs?
Then again, I havnt heard of OEM DRL bulbs going out either.

 

yep....bulbs are fine. During my search I found many threads regarding modules and solder issues....reminds me of the HFL problem. Anyway....I can not find anything regarding location of the module so that I can take a look. Various Hondas have the part under different parts of dash or on firewall. Not a vital part for a car with 200,000 miles, but I kinda like them.

 

I have 180k on my 08 TL and the DRL light is illuminated on dash and I have no DRL


probably the bulbs, but who knows


whats a good replacement bulb?

 

my problem is definitely not the bulbs....checked twice and they are fine....in fact my drl started working again two days ago, then are back off today. Still trying to find info on location of module and a replacement if not too much $....otherwise NBD.

thanks a ton.....I looked everywhere that I had access to and could not find this. Appreciate the help!

 

let me know if that relay fixes it

 

No problem

 

Got the part number, but can not find the part: RC - 5102. Acura and the usual auto part stores do not seem to carry and I can not find the equivalent

 

nevermind....found the Acura part number....ordered. Will replace next week and hopefully will be all set.

thanks

 

Well, replaced the DRL relay....not the problem....still no DRL.

Any other ideas appreciated. Is there a control module somewhere?

 

make sure your car doesn't short out someplace cause the wiring to be burn out instead of replay or fuse. You need to check to see where the power get cut off. sill thing to ask tho but did you check the fuse for DRL?

 

fuse is good....first thing that I checked, but thanks for pointing out....I have done stuff like that before and forgot the easy solution first.

I will keep hunting....must be a bad connection somewhere

 

Facing same problem, were you able to fix yours?

 

where can I get this diagram for 2011 rdx?

 

no fix.....must be a bad connection somewhere. On for a month and then off for a month....random. And getting the passenger bulb out is a PITA. Oh well.

 

Having some electrical issues that I think started with a bad alternator. DRLs not working is one of my issues. Which fuse should be checked?

 

I went to the Acura dealership and this is what they put on my receipt. Has anyone tried replacing the entire fuse relay box or anything else they can understand from this picture? They quoted me $960 CAN to fix which I didn't go through with.

 

First, get multimeter and recheck if that is really the case.
Or go get second opinion from another shop.

 

Any resolution to this? My DRLs are doing the same thing now. Tried 2 good bulbs, checked fuses, not sure what to do

 

.
Still not working. Must be a bad connection somewhere but I can not track it down. Let me know if you have any success.

 

I got another quote from a recommended auto electric technician who said the same thing being to replace with a new underhood fuse relay box assembly. I ordered one from Acura for $432 CDN plus tax and my auto electric technician installed it for an hour of labour. Its been 4 months and I haven't had a problem. Hopefully this thread helps!

 

Holy crap, 432 CAD just get DRLs working again!
I took my DRL bulbs out because I liked the all black look

 

Screw that I can live without them and the light on dash. Won’t prevent me from passing the state inspection anyways.

 

thanks for the valuable contribution

 

Double check *very* closely. I went crazy trying to solve my problem as well. Circuit, power and grounds were all correct.
