usererror Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) Hi Folks, My parents have purchased a brand new Edge and they took delivery of it in March. They want to have the Daytime Running Lights enabled on the vehicle. Can this be done easily, by purchasing a factory part from Ford? On my Chrysler I was able to buy a $50 module that plugged into the back side of the fuse panel where several other modules plug in. Does Ford have something similar or is it all computer driven? Any insight into this would be great (or even the part number!) As a side question, is there a way for the instrument cluster gauges to ALWAYS be ON regardless if the headlights are on or not? They state that on a sunny day driving with sunglasses on (polarized lenses) it is impossible to read any of the analogue gauges. Or perhaps the DRL module would do this? Thanks in advance!

The dealer can turn them on via their diagnostic tool (computer). If they have auto-headlamps you could also just cover the sensor in the middle of the dash and that should keep the lights on all the time and the gauges lit.

Hello I had mine turned on by the dealer and paid an half hour labor rate. I have read here that some dealers will not even charge If your dealer says it can't be done then go to a different dealer because it is an easy fix and every Edge comes with them (simple computer code is all) good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usererror Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Thanks everyone, that helps. I have passed the word along. We only have our one Ford Dealer, the next closest one (or any dealership for that matter) is over an hour away so I hope the one they bought from will not fuss about it.
