Just got a new Ford Explorer work vehicle (Law Enforcement) which is used in an undercover capacity. It is equipped with DRL which leaves the lights on when ever the car is in drive. Even at night there is no way to just switch the lights to "off" as they just go to DRL setting automatically. I've checked the manual and there is no way to turn off this system listed. Any one here have the knowledge to turn this system off?
 
My truck I push the parking brake one click and it shuts them off.
 
Thanks guys,,,I checked for the fuse and there is none for the DRL's. I'll try the parking brake idea also. I went to the dealership and they did some checking and said it is permanent. Not sure if I believe this or not. I already checked with our tech guys who install the lighting and electronic equipment on our cars, we'll probably end up wiring in a kill switch to the harness that goes to the head light systeem.
