Replying to: sid007 (Mar 11, 2009 12:03 pm) DRL or Daytime Running Lights, are headlights that are on during daylight hours. They come on, when the engine is on. You see many cars on the road with them. Some 97 Camry's have DRL's, others don't. In the case of a Camry, they are actually the high beam bulb, wired in series, which runs at half voltage. They achieve this with a bunch of relays, to switch the high beams between running in DRL mode at half voltage, and regular High Beam mode when they operate at full voltage. Do you normally have headlights on during the day, which you didn't turn on?

Replying to: sid007 (Mar 12, 2009 2:31 am) Gen 4 Headlight no/DRL You have determined that you have power to the relay socket, and you believe the relay itself is good. So the problem is either in the integration relay (the circuitry that controls the relay), or the headlight switch. The headlight switch has two circuits in it. Let's verify that one piece of the switch is working correctly, and is able to switch between low and high beams. Since you know how to take out the headlight relay, and put in some jumper wire, let's do exactly that and effectively hotwire power to the headlights. Pull out the headlight relay, and jumper the socket (where the relay plugs in), from pin 1 to pin 2. This will then provide power the the two headlight fuses, as well as the headlight bulbs. Putting the switch in the low position, should have the low beams on (by completing the circuit to ground), putting the switch in the high position should have the high beams on (by completing that circuit to ground), and flashing will flash the high beams. If you don't get this, replace the switch. Unplug your jumper wire. Assuming the above is okay, then you'll want to check the top half of the switch. You'll need to get into the wiring of the switch, and you want to put a meter on pins 13 and 18. When you turn on the headlight switch, you should see zero resistance between pins 13 and 18. Turn the switch off, and it should go to infinite resistance. If you don't get this, replace the switch. If the above checks out, then either your integration relay is bad, or your headlight relay really is bad even though you think it is good. See the following for info on the integration circuitry. Gen 4 Integration Relay If you get to the integration relay area, make sure that all of the power fuses that feed into the integration relay are good. The integration relay itself, is physically on the 'front side' of the junction box by your left knee. For instance, the 'gauge' fuse is on the back side (facing the passenger compartment, the integration relay would be on the front side, access up under the dash. Gen4 Integ Relay Power Good Luck !

Replying to: sid007 (Mar 12, 2009 5:48 pm) I'd verify that the 10A Gauge, and 7.5A Dome fuses were also okay, before pulling the trigger on the integration relay. Since you know now how to check out a relay, verify that the taillight relay is also working. You need voltage flowing thru the primary coil of the taillight relay to feed current to the integration relay. I guess to be complete, you should also check that the driver side door courtesy switch is working as well. You may also try unplugging and reseating the connectors. |
