I hope you don't mind another vehicle wiring question since your

I have a Honda with daytime running lights, which I bypassed the fuse to
install a switch allowing me to turn them off when needed. I have a 2013
Town & Country van which I want to do the same, but I cannot locate a
designated fuse for those lights. Do you have a suggestion how I can go
about this if I cannot located a designated fuse?
Thanks.

Just curious- why do you want to turn them off?

I wondered that also.
All our friends & family's cars & trucks, since ~ early 1990's
have had them - with no problems ..

Good question. The local concrete company trucks run with
headlights on.
It's surprising how much more noticeable those big white things are
because of the lights.

I started "day lighting" back in the seventies when I was rallye
driving.

The only thing I can';t quite figure out is why they don't just tuenon
the full lighting system - INCLUDING tail lights so morons don't drive
down the road in the dead of night with only the front lit by the DRLs
and no tail lights


Â* We had a '96 Chevy Corsica with DRL's . It had a photocell in the
dash that turned on the full set of lights when it got dark enough .
Took me a while to become habituated to turning the lights on when we
changed cars . The current Toyota 4Runner will turn them off then back
on only if you leave the switch on the turnsig stem turned to "on" . Her
'09 Harley gives you no option , key is on so are the lights . My 1990
has a separate key switch position .
