DLR Problem

Postby Hymer » Mon Oct 23, 2017 1:36 pm

On my Hymer Motorhome, based on a 2011 build Transit 350, the side lights come on with the Daylight Running Lights. Has anyone any idea why? It's been sugested that it might be a faulty DLR relay, is this likely?

It depends which country you're in (or which market the van was built for), it's probably not a fault though.

It's a German import, and I know that German Fiat based Hymers of the same age have front only DLR as the UK. The dealer has said through a third party that he's sure it should be front only. Perhaps it might haver been an option on German Transits?

UK euro5 MK7’s had parking lights and headlights on for DRL.

Thanks, that probably explains it. A class Hymers have special integrated headlight units with separate DLR, so I would imagine that the original part of the Ford wiring is switching the sidelights on, not that I mind :)
