DRL'S

Would like to turn off the DRL's on my 2001 V70. The Dealer and Repair Shops here wont do it. I have a green and white wire on the back of my switch. Can I cut it, to turn them off?

Do not cut any wires. Even if you unplug the light switch the light will still stay on. It takes software to turn it off and money shortly after this. Glück.

What do you mean they won't do it?
Unless you live in Canada where that would be illegal, open your owner's manual, find the page where it says to
"TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO SHUT THEM OFF" and
nicely, place (or shove) that in someone's face and demand they do what you want, it's your car

The dealer will probably charge you one hour labor for a 5 minute job but that's another issue!

Went back to Independence Volvo. Got them to try. They hooked it to the lap top. Went in to a couple of different programs, but was not able to turn the DRL's off. They got the lights to turn off but as soon as the car was turned on and off, the lights came back on. They at least tried, maybe there is something they don't know. I guess all live with the lights on. Thanks. 2001 V70XC

It's easy to turn off the DRL's with the VIDA/DICE setup, I did it myself, so it should be a breeze for a volvo tech, unless he doesn't know how to do it.

This was the only Shop I could get to even try. Any instructions for them.

There is an adjustment page on VIDA
Apparently they found it if they managed to turn the lights off
Have them go back and find the DRL off only setting

I went back to the Volvo Shop again to get them to turn off the DRL's. They hooked up the Car, and still wasn't able to do it. They showed me on the screen. We went through all the different pages and wasn't able to find an adjustment page. I don't know what module I have, but it seems to be something different.

Thinks for all your help though, I learned alot. And the Guys at Independence Volvo where great. I guess I will live with the DRL's

Thanks Again Geomart
