DRL/Fog not turning off?

Aramis76

Hi guys, I tried posting this in the general forum, but since this pertains to cars originally equipped with Daytime Running Lights, The majority of forum members in the US can't really help.

Recently my car srtated doing this weird thing.

When I turn the engine off and exit the car, the fog lights (which are the daytime running lights) stay on.

I've waited up to 10 or 15 minutes, they don't turn off. I'm guessing that at the 30 minute mark they probably would becaus of the battery saver, but that's not normal.

From what I can gather, it's likely a relay that "sticks" to the on position. Problem is that the relays for these things are built-in to the Power Distribution module (IPDM) so they can't be replaced without changing the entire module, which isn't cheap.

Has anyone had something similar?

My timers for lights off are set to zero and every other lights shut right off when I close my door after a shut-down so that's not it.

Sounds like a trip to Nissan, but i'd like to see if anyone had this, I would like to point them in a direction in case they give me the "can't reproduce it" type of answer.

Thanks!
