Nope, not true. You and I have the exact same truck bud.
I've got a 97 runner 4x4 V6 limited and I was having the exact same problem you were having when unplugging that module beside the battery.
In fact, the only reason I joined this forum was to help you out.
Hey SpiderMan.
Okay, so if you look up underneath your dash on the driver side you'll see a little gray box. Unplug the plug from the back of the box and cut the black wire with the yellow stripe. After you do that your DRL's are disabled.
