XJ DRL Module Location
« on: July 19, 2014, 04:07:49 PM »
I've got a 1993 XJ and I want to put my daylight running lights on a switch like Tinkerer did in this post http://forum.calgaryjeep.com/index.php?topic=9869.0. I looked around yesterday for the module but I couldn't find it. I read that it's between the fender and the windshield washer fluid reservoir. Maybe it is there but I'm just looking for the wrong part. From what I found, it should have something like 8 or 10 connectors, so I'm assuming that many wires, coming out of it.
Where is it and what does it look like?

Looks kinda like any other electronic relay. About 1/2 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch. On firewall on passenger side about 6 inches away from passemger fender. With wiring harness running to it and plugin is kinda oval shape weather proof connection. Will go take a look at it in a couple minutes and double check.

Of course mine was pulled out long time a go to upgrade the head light wiring harness. That a lone makes your headlights twice as bright. Did put in a small jumper wire to make the high beam indicator work so that is under the electrical tape.

I don't see it where you have it. There are no connectors like that near the windshield washer fluid reservoir. I see some near the battery and fuse box, but nothing that would support 10 wires in and out.
I can't find a way to show images without using a link, so follow this link to the two pictures I have.

There should be a small box attached to the passenger side fender between the washer fluid resivoir (under the hand in the above picture) This should be where the connection is.

The fuse box? I checked it out but didn't see one. I need to deal with moving this weekend but next weekend I plan on installing a hand throttle finally so I'll have plenty of time to poke around and find the module.
