    Hi everyone. My day time running lights won’t turn off…. Even when the car is turned off and the key is pulled from the ignition.

    this all started after I disconnected the negative terminals on the batteries (dual battery set up) to reset my ECU. All lights and everything else works, kind of stumped on this one…. I do have an accessory/electrical board in the engine that was professionally done.

    any ideas?

    will post pics when I get home from work.

    Easy check: Try bumping the little rubber plunger in the door jam. May be a stuck door open sensor.

    Oddity check: Is your trailer harness intact? I remember an old tundra thread where they had a similar / same issue and it was related to a damaged trailer plug harness.

    Next step: start pulling and reinserting relays + fuses related to the DRLs in case something is stuck open (relays)

    I'll update if I can think of anything else.

    I pulled the fuse for DRLs so for now they are off… neighbors were calling and knocking on the door twice a night….. so at least they’re off.
