2017 M-Sport OE DRL issue.

Postby Spiderz » Wed Aug 17, 2022 1:01 pm

HI.

New to the forum hoping someone may be able to help.

I have a 2017 M-Sport and one of my DRL's corroded and stopped working.

Contacted MS-RT and got an OE Replacement pair (EIN Parts Automotive)
The New set came and basically its the same "except" the connectors are slightly different.
Not an issue as all the wirings there.

On the OE (On mine) the connector coming out of the DRL Box there's "3 wires" (Red (+ve), Black (-ve) and a White.
The Red and Black are "Hardwired from the Box into the Headlight Connector loom.
The White isn't connected at all.

Now the New DRL work fine....with just the ignition on
However.....Start the engine and the DRL's go out after a few seconds and won't stay on!

The EIN Parts say that the "White Wire" needs to be connected to +ve of low beam light....
However this "WASN'T" connected at all on the OE M-Sport Loom.
Bending my head.

I've tried all sorts with the white wire to keep my DRL's on when engine running but no luck.

Anyone help at all.
