2002 Full Time DRLs - Instructions for UnderHood Mod

So glad to still see the forum doing its job, almost 15 years later  (y)

Read, learn, and tackle the task at hand!  (y)

This place is a wealth of knowledge! There are hundreds of "how-to" write ups, and MOD ideas that are still floating around!

I recall doing my all on hi mod overlooking Summersville lake at my very first GTG!  :love:

I also recall doing the Full time DRL mod on my own at something like 6am, after pulling an all nighter surfing the site shortly after I joined! taking the fuse block apart was not something that I felt comfortable doing, until I read the write ups on here!  >:D

That's the best part about this forum! There are tons of mods out there, it just takes a little while to find them. There were so many different write ups for FTDRL and All-On-High, but I finally found the easiest one!  ;D

Like I said, full time ambers were the first thing I did.. At something like 6am, just as the sun was coming up after pulling an all nighter surfing the club..  >:D I think I had been a member for 2 weeks or so.
 
I had done this on my Avalanche but it was an '02 do I did it the old way. I know this isn't an Av but it is an '03 and these directions worked perfectly. I did get thrown because it has to be running for everything to work properly and unlike the '02 the FTDRLs still stay off until you put it into gear but once I figured that out I'm back to being bright. Oh and I actually found 9011 and 9012 HIR bulbs at Pep Boys.

I did this mod a few years ago, but just recently I noticed that my DRL are not on in park is there any way to get them to come on when the truck is in park
 
We can look at it next weekend. There is a way but just have to see what setup you have.
 
sounds good. btw I used the resister method like op did

I'm starting this thread to help out all of the members who like me got frustrated with trying to find the correct information and instructions to the Under Hood Full Time DRL mod.

If any of you are like me, if you can't find something with three or four clicks you forget it, but this is one of the coolest mods and its pretty easy. These instructions are compiled from different posts and are only intended for 2002 Avs.

1. To play it safe, disconnect the Black Ground cable from the battery.

2. Standing on the driver's side of the truck, Remove the black curved bracket that connects the fender to the body.

3. Remove the Electrical Center Plastic housing. First the top, then look at the sides of the housing and find the tabs which hold it down. Angle the housing and unhook it from the tabs, and lift it off. This should reveal the naked fuse box which is the contents of the Electrical Center.

4. On the fender side of the fuse box is a locking latch. Push this tab towards the fender and this should unlock the fuse box. Then unhook the tabs at either ends of the side facing the engine. The fuse box is now loose and ready to be turned over.

5. There are different colored sections on the underside of the fuse box; we'll be operating in the green area. It is bolted into the box and it must be unscrewed. Loosen and remove the green connection block. Remove the two blue locking clips on both sides of the green block.

6. On the far right row, there are several wires, locate the double royal blue wire. Remove this wire from its current position and drop it down one (1) hole. Now the right side should have a double green wire at the top, followed by a single red, a single blue, a double purple, then the space just vacated and the newly relocated double blue wires.

7. Relock the green block using the blue locks. Screw in the green block back into the fuse box.

8. Test to see if the mod works. Reattach the Black Ground cable to the battery, and turn the key to the on position. (You don't have to start the truck. The DRLs should come on when the truck is in Park.

9. When everything works as you like it, lock in the fuse box, replace the cover and the top. Reattach the black curved bracket.

10. Sit back and enjoy the sense of accomplishment.

Use these pictures to aid in the modification. The first pic is of steps 1-4. The second pic shows the location of the double blue wires in the green connection block. This picture shows a red wire in the slot where we have placed the blue wires. The red wire is XRover's switch mod. For directions on the DRL on/off Switch, PM XRover.

Ha Ha Ha that fuse box looks like mine with the extra wires and AGC fuse.
 
Thank you for the link. I missed this mod that I did on my 2003, so am glad to try this module for my 2013.

They will not do the DRLs but it's a easy way to do the All on high mod.
