2005 H2 DRLs

[AutoJunky]

So I’m a newb to the H2 life. I just bought an 05 SUT and I’m trying to play around with a few little mods here and there. I read on a forum where a guy said by running a jumper wire with diode from headlight relay to DRL fuse it would allow the DRLs to be on when the headlights come on. Well he was correct it totally works. When I turn on the headlights the DRLs are on as well. HOWEVER, I try to start the truck and it just cranks. I take the jumper wire out and the truck fires right back up again. Any ideas whats going on? Is there another way to cross over the DRLs so they come on with the headlights??

Thanks in advance.

I would triple and then quadruple check this, correlation may not equal causation. It may just happen to be something like a fuel pump that working on and off.

Ya I’ve tried it 3 or 4 times now. The truck runs great until I put in the jumper wire and then it wont start. Its weird because I’ve read many reviews of people saying it worked perfectly for them.

I honestly don’t know the answer then, I’ve never done the mod as I like having them separated. I’m not sure how to guide you from here, they shouldn’t cause a problem. Are both sets of lights stock, or are one or both sets LEDs, which could change the draw.

I didn’t think of that. The headlights are LED
