I have the Lancer Factory Manual courtesy of 4B11Lancers.com member.! :banana:

It's way too large for a post here, (trust me, I tried). It can be downloaded via the link below. Any questions, feel free to PM me.

Sorry to those who already bought them on eBay, lol (;)

Why do I have the strangest inclination this post is directed at me?

WHY LONNIE? WHY?!?

Man o man....I just bought one of those CD's from E-Bay on our cars.

Should have it in a week or so. Tell ya what freakingwilly.....if the CD turns out to be all that.....I'll burn ya a copy & somehow get it out to you :beer:

Or you can have Lonnieg3 just send you little bits & pieces just to torcher you :grin:
GET HIM LONNIE :P

LMAO - oh the humanity!

I send you bits and pieces of the DRL pages, lol

But make sure that you leave out all the crucial parts :laughing:

Well, the joke's on BOTH of you! I already have my manual! :bwekk: 200MB of pictures, diagrams, instructions, and circuitry!

...

And still no DRL solution!!! Well, I do have some finds, but they aren't solid... they are at BEST theories. I'll upload the pages I found on the DRL wiring... apparently, the DRL is linked to Fuse 12, not 13 as described in the car manual. Oddly enough, there is no Fuse 12 either. WHADDAFAK MITSU?

What I DID find was that there's a black line in the diagram which is specifically labeled as the DRL line. There is no other mention of the DRLs in the ENTIRE manual except in this specific section (section 90-80 if you have the manual). Theoretically speaking, if you cut that line, the DRLs should cease function since the DRL is only located in one specific ECU and is routed to both headlights.

And besides, why would you want to torture me with bits and pieces of the DRL pages? Seems kinda counter-productive since I'm trying to help bypass the DRLs. :gunsmilie:

I wish I knew that sooner, I wouldn't mind burning you a copy and sending it out to you. Help the fellow Lancer community!

Guess I should learn to ask first....darn it all.
It only ended up being like $5 for the disk w/ ship'n so I'm not out alot of $$.

Navigating through the PDF factory manual can be a pain, since alot of the sections aren't identified until I click the file. My electronic theory isn't too bad with circuits. So, if you upload those pages to your DRL post, I can work on a ECU-DRL fix with my co-workers. It's obviously harder because of the intregrated set-up.

Also, e-mail a copy of the schematic to "Afeudale". He's the guy who designed the
DRL FIX. He's very knowledable and helped me out alot. I am still not sure why you wouldn't try one of his fixes that disables the DRL's. Anyways...... back on topic now ;)

P.S-Link to Afeudale's post:

I took apart the files in the CD and it comes with 3 folders (each loaded with PDF files) and 1 main PDF file (main page). The 3 folders are BRM (Body Repair Manual), SM (Service Manual), and TIM (Technical Information Manual). I don't know why, but some of the links on the technical manual don't work, but I can still navigate to the pages manually.

Anyways, there's a LOT of information on this manual... like you wouldn't believe. The more I read, the more I learn. I actually found the location of the relay that controls the DRL function ON the ECU! Too bad I can't find the ECU to begin with :)

But every theoretical solution I find, it's only to DISABLE the DRLs, not reroute them (which is what I've been trying to do). That's why I haven't tried afeudale's method #3... that and I could never find the one key item I needed... the extra 9006 cable.

I'd rather reroute them and avoid any issues with the ECU freaking out over the fact that the DRLs are not functioning.

i sent you a pm to get it, not sure if you got it or not though - id like a copy

Oh the ECU wouldn't freak out because it's still outputting the same signal, only the modified cable is nulling it out afterwards so you don't have the DRL signal.

I have an extra 9006 cable if you'd like. It's cut in half though because it was routed through a huge rubber seal. All you would have to do it get the components needed and solder away, that's if you would be willing to try afewdale's method.

I can mail it out to you if you want, just PM ME.

And just to put this thread back on topic, make sure you do all the above mentioned in accordance with the factory manual of course, lol

Nope, didn't get any PM's. Try a file transfer via the posted link.

Lonnieg3 sent me the manual. I have made a torrent of the file. Here is the link!
Thanks Lonnie!!!

P.S. Please help me seed this so others can have it as well.

New link just in case

sweet. i'll start it and mine when i get home. leave it going. :)

No Problem man, anytime. It only benefits us all to have the factory manual available.

SimmoES, you should PIN this thread, or the link for other members.

ive started so hopfully i'll be helping the uploading in no time.,

Thank you....I downloaded it from the 1st link which took a long long time :liebe011:
Only problem that I am having with it is that it is asking for a password...huh?
Now what did I scew up

I did not password protect that file so I don't know what happened. I uploaded it just as Lonnie sent it. When I get home I will extract the files and just upload the PDFs.

Yeah, definately a glitch. I didn't have a password at all.
