Hi powerdoc, Thanks for the response, I started out by mentioning it to my assigned service advisor. He said, "We have no idea, there is nothing in the manual on it, but if you find out something, let us know." Basically, "it's not warrantee, and we can't charge you to research it, so we ain't." I have a simple 3 relay circuit that I devised (have no idea of how to do it with transistors etc.), that will provide a ground to the neg. side of the DTRL relay, based on a pos. wire from a "Ignition On/Start" source and would be cut by either a ground from the parking brake or a positive from the parking lights. I'm just kinda chicken to tap into the wiring harness (because I'd have to disconnect some major connection blocks), and undecided as to where. I also haven't figured out a good way to thread 1-2 wires thru the firewall w/o compromising the water-tightness of the wiring harness. I was hoping to solve this by software rather than adding hardware...lolThe last time I went in to talk to a Service Advisor, I had to wait almost 15 min. for them to find one. Then the receptionist asked him if he'd mind talking to me, as I didn't have an appointment. (I about came unglued over just that fact) I doubt they are going to be very helpful. Sad, huh! (I'd better get off that soapbox, someone needs the wood! LOL)
