Rudy,
The A/C blower/controls work only when the engine is running. However I'm not sure how this is accomplished. The power for it in the fuse box is constant, and then there is an ign relay in the fuse box that pulses once when the car is started it and once when the engine is turned off, signaling the AC to turn on or off. I would probably start checking the wires going into the AC controls though.
In my case what I would do is wire the 86 terminal to the cigar outlet, and the 85 to the ground on the e-brake. then i would run 30 directly to the battery and 87 obviously out to your lights.
This will provide power to the DRLs any time the ACC or IGN is on, but will turn them off when you pull the e-brake. This would work for me because any time my vx is turned off the e-brake is on. This is how Subaru sets up their DRLs, they are on any time the vehicle is running and e-brake is off. So you could pull the e-brake if you are sitting in a parking lot or wherever and they would be off.
This option does not allow for them turning off when the low beams come on. Your current set up does not allow for this either. In fact, it looks like your current set up will only work when you have your low beams switched on?
The best way I can think of to disable the DRLs is to take the ground off the low beam and run it into the 87a terminal and make 30 a direct ground. Then you can provide constant power to the DRLs and make the 87 terminal the ground for the DRLs. This will provide a ground to the low beams any time the DRLs are turned off. However I'm not sure how to make the DRL relay to switch off and make this happen.
I'll think on it a bit more today, hopefully my thinking out loud helps trigger something for you or someone else to chime in
