Does my 02 explorer sport have daytime running lights

[2002sport4x4]

Just a simple thing to ask???


if it does how do I turn them on, all my other vehicles had drl's and i kind of got used to them

any help would be greatly appreciated

On the knob where you turn your lights on, Turn the knob to the left. Thats how Its done on my 2002 Ford explorer. I never have to touch the lights switch ever!

that was a fast response

I had them on my 02 but now i dont with my 05.....i love the DRLs....

I noticed that on my 02, i could turn the knob to the left while my 05 i cant. now i have to remember to turn the lights off before i leave because i get that loud ringing alarm letting me know i left the lights on. i bet it costs a lots to change my so i will have it on my 05, so i will just havee to make due without.

Are you talking about a '02 Sport (2 door) or a '02 4 door with the Sport package?

You guys are talking about the autolamps, not DRLs. DRLs are a low-powered light that is on while driving in the daytime, but goes to a full-powered beam once it gets dark out.

Canada requires DRLs, but the US does not. I know there's a way to get them going on a US spec Explorer, but haven't really investigated it that much. Probably involves adding a relay and/or DRL module to the system.

I didnt' know Ford ever had them.

I didnt' know Ford ever had them.

All the Canadian spec'd Fords would have had them from the factory.

I have a 02 ex sport, I love the thing and i know my 06 taurus has the auto lights and just wondering if my explorer had them but the previous owner may have shut them off, but i am figuring out that my vehicle doesn't have them....

2002sport, I think that you might be on the wrong part of the board, since you say that you have a "Sport Premium".

Do you have a 2-door Explorer? If so, you'll want to post this question on the 1995-2001 forums -- a 2002 2-door is based on the 2nd generation X.

If you do have a 4-door Explorer, then disregard this.

its got the new body style?????? whats the difference between the 2nd and 3rd generations

 

[axiom]

The 2001-2004 Sports have the same chassis and everything (as far as I know) as a second generation Sport ('95-'00). The only differences are in the body styles, that's all. Since the '02 Sport for all intensive purposes is similar to the 2nd gen ones, this question should have gone in that forum but it's a simple mistake that isn't too big of a deal.

My 02 explorer xlt 4 door when I put auto lights on which is all the way to the left all my lights are on during the daytime every day, headlights side markers taillights, I could swear they never use to do that, if they are suppose to that kinda defeats the purpose of auto lamps.....any tips appreciated.
