Im trying to disable the DRL on my wife's 98 xj and it has me stumped.
It does not have a DRL module and has the factory plug still in the harness.
Im getting 6 volts at the low beam side of the lights whenever the key is in the run position. I have tried 2 different styles of led lights thinking the change in resistance would effect it but no change. I have not tried stock style halogen.
It had an alarm on it when I got it but have since removed it with no change. I traced the wires from the switch as far as I could and saw nothing of concern.
Any thoughts from anyone?

This is a common issue with LED lights, Its not really DRL its just a system designed for halogen bulbs. Either get a h4 relay harness for the headlights or I've heard you can pull the headlight delay box and it will stop the issue as well. I just installed LED headlights this weekend and have the same "issue". I've order a harness but I do want to try pulling the delay module to see if that works its just been in the 20's here and I've not felt like digging around under the dash.
