RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 My parents just bought a used Toyota Highlander...It is a US built car, and the running lights don't work. They don't know why it wasn't addressed in the safety before they picked it up...Dad said someone told him it is a really easy fix, a plug or screw or something.He's going to call the dealer on Monday...but I figured I'd ask if anyone here knows how to enable them?

Chadd 916 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 It should be in the operators manual, if not look for the service manual online. I found a good forum for my FJ and they had all of that stuff online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AWE46M3 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 DRLs, usually, have to be turned on or off by the dealer. They will hook it up to a device and enable it; it's not a matter of you being able to turn a switch and have them work. I know this to be true with Lexus and I'm assuming the same for your Highlander. Check out Toyotanation.com, they may have more information on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D aka speck 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 I'll wager it's a blown fuse.Within 1 year of Canada passing a law regarding "daytime running lights (DRL)" the US adopted the same policy.If it's not a fuse, try a voltage tester in the actual light socket.Sounds way too coincidental to be bulb problems to me. My parents just bought a used Toyota Highlander...It is a US built car, and the running lights don't work. They don't know why it wasn't addressed in the safety before they picked it up...Dad said someone told him it is a really easy fix, a plug or screw or something.He's going to call the dealer on Monday...but I figured I'd ask if anyone here knows how to enable them? DRL's are manditory in Canada. The dealer is legally responsibe for the functional operation of the vehicle.There's ABSOLUTELY, NO REASON for your parents mucking around with screwdrivers, hammers or hack-saws.Dealer responsibility!
