Jer, you DO know what DRLs are, right?it means the headlights come on basically any time the car is moving..it doesnt mean PARKING LIGHTS.. all cars VW ever made had parking lights.. but only 96 and newer got them in the good ol' U S of A..so, Jer, do the headlights on your girlfriends car come on when you release the e-brake? thats how the early DRLs functioned..remember, DRLs are headlights that are basically always on, any time the car thinks its moving, or running, not amber parking lights..
wow, sorry dude.. never knew about DRLs on canada cars..damn canucks and your superior VWs..

Or have a second small battery on line with a switch inside and once the engine is running you hit the switch giving the extra volts needed to trip the charging circuit. Why does it need 13 volts to flip that over to charge. Mine doesn't.
I need (would appreciate) someone to explain to me when the alternator charges? what tells it to charge exactly? how does it work? is it the blue wire that tells it to charge?as far as i can tell that blue wire is just a possitive battery wire when the key is on. And why does my battery light not come on if it's not charging? and does a voltage below 14v mean it's not charging?
