Who can say me how the DRL is working?
My MGM is build in Canada and i think, it must work, but it is not working

Edited by: coupe

All Grand Marquis are built in Canada, see here:

Dlr - dealer installed option, is that what you meant?


This refers in general to options the dealer installs, not the factory. For your year and model: Seat Belt Extenders


Basically it's a buckle with a small piece of seatbelt, which clips into the buckle installed on the car, it extends the seatbelt. For larger people, to give you less pressure on the seatbelt, and in PI's used to accommodate more space for the sidearm officers are wearing.


Also for easier access to the factory installed buckle, as it's partially underneath the front armrests, due to the bench seat.

Don't think so, MGM doesn't have any. Even the details for the 2008 model don't list them.


Well, we'll find out. If he says that "it is not working", he can probably clarify. I hope LOL


Greetings!

ya, daytime running light

don´t know, if installed or not. but i think, because manufactured in canada

Manufactured in Canada, but for US market.


Nerveless, MGM does not have daytime running lights.


If you want them, they make wiring kits which you can install.


Easiest solution is: turn your headlights on. [img]smileys/smiley8.gif[/img]


Greetings!

okay, i will do that[img]smileys/smiley14.gif[/img]

All that theharness (wiring kit) is doing, is supplying power to your headlights only. So none of your tail or instrument lights would be on.

Update for the DRL (DaytimeRunningLights):


I just happen to run across this section in the Shop Manual (it's from 1998 and states "applies to all models '92 to present":


Daytime Running Light System (Canadian vehicles only):


The Daytime Running Light (DRL) system is designed to turn on the high beam headlamps ON, with a reduced light output, when all of the following conditions are met:


-The vehicle is "running".


-The vehicle has a fully released parking brake.


-The headlamp system is in the OFF position


NOTE: If you have a vehicle with an automatic lighting system, the DRL system is active until the automatic system turns on the headlamps.


Greetings!

You can also turn on the auto lamps(little turn dial behind pull light switch).

As far as im aware they all have this just turn on and set to the farthest it will go without turning off(little stop) and when the car is on lights are on, when the car is turned off they turn off in 5-10 seconds depending on where its set.

In the Pciture its the little dial behind the pull knob.

92Mxxx, this post is about the DRL.


CouXXX, if you really want to have them, the wiring and basic setup is there, you can buy a kit from Ford in order to activate them, see here:


http://www.fordgenuineaccessory.com/...?product_id=19 68&amp;GID=


Is supposed to fit all models '96 to '05.


Doesn't say what the kit includes, I would think the module, and maybe the relays.


Anyhow, here it is. Interesting that it works with your high beams, so no wear on your headlights (bulbs).


Greetings!

Yah but the Autolamps do the exact same thing. Just throwing it you there.


-cheers

The do not.


If you don't know how it works, read the previous postings, it defines clearly what the system does.


In case you still don't understand:


-Autolamp functions turns on your headlights (low beam) and all other lights, the same way they would come on as if you were manually turning on all your lights. It functions anytime the sensor on the dash does not receive any sufficient brightness.


-DaytimeRunningLights: This system provides low current to the high beam lights only. It functions anytime the ignition is on.


Got it now?


BTW: I saw that this system is listed in the '92 manual as well, however, the sales brochure does not feature it, not even as an option. I guess it would be what is called "dealer-installed-option".


Greetings!

now i got yah...

like i said im out of it

Me too. Not that I'm a fan of it, thus they make you more visible for sure, it's just interesting to see all those little differences.


Do you use your Autolamp feature? I was never really into it, but do use them now all the time. Well, you set them once and that's it. I find it very convenient, especially when you get out and have the light.
