am i missing somthing

[montrese04]

i have a 98 eo and i was wondering am i missing a fuse, if so which one. because i noticed right above the bottom left corner of this pic right above the big black fuse there is something missing. also which one of these fuses has something to do with my car starting up. Or could some one point me to a diagram of what stands for what.

That's where the daytime running light relay goes, you can search here for the part number. That metal piece in there is a jumper that completes the circuit for the high beams when the relay isn't installed.

We do if you live in canada:shrug:

Canada's laws make it mandatory for all their cars to run day time running lights. Since here in the states it's optional...ford doesn't waste the money having them on our cars.

It is exactly that easy.
remove the metal jumper in socket and plug in a DRL relay

Check your owner's manual, the fuse/relay diagram will tell you where the DRL relay would go. Rule of thumb, if the car was available in Canada, you have this option (See above post about Canadian law and DRL).

Most Fords are like this, the "kit" the dealership sells for daytime running lights is just a relay.

Um, it's not like that. It uses your brights, at I believe half power. As soon as you turn your regular lights on, they go off.

Not all Contours/Mystiques have the connection for a DRL relay. For some reason, certain models didn't get the DRL relay connection in the fuse box.

If you have the spot, it's as easy as removing the jumper and installing the relay. As EuroTour said, it's the high beams at half power. When you turn the low beams on, they shut off. They look great with the fog light mod.

I think I want.
