Anyone have a diagram of the OEM DRL relay 4th gen?

[A/V1]

Hey guys. Just curious if anybody has an internal diagram of the OEM DRL turn signal relay whether you drew it up after testing it/taking it apart, or it's one from Toyota's Techinfo, etc. I could not find any info on it. Please let me know what you have. Thanks!:sobbing:

It was worth a shot, but that's what I was afraid of... It's been a week and nothing. Oh well... I'll figure something out.:crybaby:

I'll look at my Chilton's when I get home. (didn't see this post).

Thanks Ed. If you can find something for me that would be great!

I can't see any DLR relay on what I have.....

The manual I have isn't very detailed, but I did find a page (page 2 of 2) with the front turn signals (which are the DRLs on the trucks we have).

I can post up page 1 that has the schematics for the front lights, but no mention of the turn signal or DRLs. Let me know!

Hope this helps ya! :hatsoff:

Thanks Ed. But I am actually looking more for the internal diagram of the relay. I guess I might just have to pop my relay apart one of these days.

take a pic of the top and bottom. what are you trying to figure out?

Here is a link for the wiring diagrams of the 2003 4Runner. Later models will have some small changes, but shouldn't vary dramatically.

The part number should be on the side or top of the relay. Try typing it into Google and see what comes up. I do this all the time with electrical parts. You can usually get things like diagrams, spec sheets, installation instructions, links to vendors, etc.

Thanks everyone for your help. I know I was about clear as mud with regards to what I needed. I need the diagram for the INTERNAL workings of the DRL relay. I was looking at my Runner from the front one evening while the lights were on minus the fogs, and I decided I really wanted to try to get the DRLs on at all times. They normally shut off when the headlights turn on. So I want to see where that trigger is and defeat or over-ride it so they will be on at all times, however still work as turn signals.

My next option would be to wire these lights to be on at all times and make my parking lights in the head lamp enclusures turn signals...

Before I get too crazy on this, I'm simply going to see if the DRL input from the body control module is removed when the headlights are turned on. This is just a voltage that is either there or not. Those of us who did the "DRL Disable" cut this wire to prevent the voltage from getting to the relay unit (I did the DRL disable a couple years ago, but left my DRLs on a switch so I can still control them).

This seems very likely. However, my only concern would be if when the headlights turn on, that would "dead-end" that input for DRLs by the contact of a relay actuating. There are only 4 high current relays on the board, so does that mean one for each corner (turn signals), or one relay per side turn signals, one for hazards, one for DRL? This is EXACTLY why I want a diagram of this relay unit. LOL!

BACK from the DEAD: :rip:

Anyway Brad, did you ever figure this out? I found a ton of schematics in my computer tonight that could (could've) be of help.

Hey Ed! I haven't done ANYTHING else with this. Just too many other things going on to worry about it.

What schematics did you find?
