    Hello everyone. I have been looking to purchase a 2000 360 modena for a while and might have found one in Canada via autotrader.ca. .. I am aware of the DOT letter, importing procedures;2.5% fee, etc .. but still have a few small details to figure out.

    I know day running lights are mandatory in Canada and on the 360 the lights are permanently on. The car is originally from Canada and I would like to bring it into America.

    My question has to do with the Daytime Running Lights. Is there is a way to disable this feature on CAN version 360 Modena/Coupe ??

    In the 360, is there a DRL Relay Block or is there a loop-back plug in place of the Relay Block which provides ground to the Multifunction Switch (Steering Column High/Low/Flash to Pass switch)??

    Is it as simple as finding the resistor and disconnecting it? If so, which number on the parts diagram is it?

    I would like to have the option to keep the lights off, low beam, high, etc with the turn knob on the steering column versus the lights being permanently on all the time. Any insights would be appreciated.

    thanks.
    Mike

    I don't know about a 360 but I had a 2004 Maserati Spyder that was imported from the US to Canada. I had FMoV install a the ECU for DRL's. It was a simple removal of the US module (Maserati part 195742) and replacement with the DRL ECU required for Canada (cost about $700 for the Canadian ECU!!). About the size of an old VHS tape. I still have the original US ECU, as pictured although the Maserati was sold and I have no need for it. Assuming the 360 uses an ECU, you should be able to identify the US part number and find one through parts supplier or EBay. Maybe the Maserati and Ferrari ECU's are interchangeable.
