DRL Relay Burned up

[Guardian74]

My DRL relay burned up and damaged the control board on my 2007 signature. Its also on the 2008 dynasty. Can someone assist with parts of part numbers? thanks

If you're not particular and decent at soldering you can add wire where the pc board traces were. 

The bigger question is:  Why did the DRL relay burn up?  Are you running higher amperage bulbs?

No, the RV was parked for 2 months. I was in it asleep and the smoke detector went off. I turned on the vents. I looked for the source. I couldn't find anything. I had all the windows and door open. I could smell it by the door.  It was dark and I looked around and I finally found the burnt up relays. I read that the Hamsar solenoid is prone to burning up. If I would of known I would of pulled it. I don't think it was working because I don't remember the DRL's (day running lights) were not on. For those reading, pull or replace the relay when not driving.

Where do you live???  I think the DRL was installed to comply with Canadian rules. 

I have the DRL wiring harness but no relay was ever installed. 

When I'm getting ready to leave and going through the checks etc I try the windshield wipers to make sure they work.  This automatically turns on my head lights.  Might be a viable option of you want running lights.
