    My auto daylights have quit working. I've checked the fuse and it was good, changed it anyway. The auto on when its too dark (like in a parking garage) works, Is there something else to check that you can get to?

    ...so what you're saying is that your DRLs work, but only when its dark out?
    Do you know about the censor on the dash?

    He's saying that the daytime running lamps are not working (meaning the headlights are supposed to be on whenever the key is in the run position, and parking brake off) but his auto headlights are still working. Is there an issue with the parking brake switch maybe? If not check the wiring and the resistor that's on the drivers side in the dash, there's an access panel on the side when you open the door.

    Most people disable them anyways. You could check the resistor for them. Its a black heat sink behind the cover on the side of the dash when you open the drivers side door. I unhooked mine years ago.

    Same here ^. I thought the heat sink was the usual aluminum color?

    Thanks for the insight, I'll be looking at that resistor as soon as the foot of snow we got yesterday and today melts. Car has no cover, except for the snow. Will let you know what I find.
