my night lights work both sides, but the daytime running lights is my problem, only the driver side works, now today i tried switching bulbs, thinking it was the bulb, not the case, both bulbs work in the driver side(day and night) passenger only works night, i looked at the fuses, they all seem fine, wtf??? i am stumped, where do i start from here? i looked at the wiring leaving my light but i seems to run into the frame, not for sure though

theres should be a little brown box with 2 electrical connectors going to it. should be near one of the four corners under your hood, if i recall correctly, it’ll be beside your battery, but im not sure, i havent had to replace one in a long time

_Digs Up FSM covered in dust and oil_
DTRL Module is… In the passenger Cabin, Passenger Side on the far right side by the foot rest… According to picture is should be just in front of the door
Thats if they decided to put it in the same spot back in 1995… this is a 1993 manual.
Hope that helps

Nissan’s right and left headlights are on separate circuits. It takes 2 relays for the DRL’s. I don’t know why people buy those shitty DRL module when you can go to P-Auto and spend $3 on 2 relays and just give it ign power ground and tap to your day time lights. It’s so fucking simple and cheap. But ya on your mod there should be 2 relays maybe 1 I donno but its not giving switch power to the light not coming on. Might be a break in your harness someplace? Lots of the time more common on Skylines its the switch in the dash. So if you fix the problem at your light your most likely to need a new switch or you COULD just tap into the same circuit as the working light on the switch. If you need a switch give me a holla, I have them in stock. Good luck

run a switch on what ever power you have on your relay. I know IGN power is tough to find in your engine bay as everything is ACC so just whatever your using run a switch to it inside the car.

Its damn hard to find, been staring at electrical diagrams for about 3 days now… all i see is wires… everywhere… :drinkers:
I was figiring that i could tap the line at the fuse box for the LH and RH fuses and splice a switch into there, i’d prefere some other method of this, Relay/etc, since they are 10Amps and the last thing i need to do is fry myself because of wiring…

Passenger side, just in front of the door. It should be behind the plastic piece there… I’ll see if i can get a scan of the page… does a better job of showing
