Pic needed of '90 DRL module mounting

COuld someone do me a huge favour and pull the plastic trim-coloured cover panel below the ash tray off and take a picture of how the little module is bolted into place...cause for the life of me, I can't get it to fit. What's most annoying is that there are TWO SCREWS that hold it in place, and my dog ought to be able to figure this one out...but it just won't fit. AAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

Hey Matt16,

I changed the title because when others search in the future... they need to find what they are looking for. Plus, I think you'll have a better chance at a response when others know what you are looking for.

You may wish to change the content of your thread so that's less confusing since my edit.

You wont.
















And that's how most of my adventures begin, by someone telling me "you won't".

ok, guilty as charged....though it worked, you looked.

By the way, any DTRL module will work, they're all mounted the same i believe.

Here is the picture you requested. Sorry it's blurry, it was dark out when I took it. It should help. I'll take a better one when the sun comes up.

No I got it. I guess it leaned al elbow or dropped a tool on the bracket, cause it had a very factory-looking bend in it that shouldn't have been. It's all put back together now.

I tied into my DTRLs for the electromagnetic clutch on my York compressor, so that the engine has to be on for the compressor clutch to be engaged (magnetized). I didn't want the magnetic clutch to drain the battery if accidentally left on.

Its really easy to wire in a switch to kill the DTRLs on demand. How did you register it without DTRLs? Or does it not need them after its 15y/o.
