I would have to say the switch on the parking brake handle is bad and causeing the DRL not to come on. As you probably know when you start the car with the parking brake on the DRL stay off, so I would say that the problem is related to that switch.

I've got a ground wire somewhere that's causing my taillamp fuse to blow out RIGHT when I turn on the lights. Because of this ground, I have no guage lights/wheel button lights/accessory lights and my taillights don't work at night when I turn the headlights on. Now my DRL's work when the lights are off, but right when I turn the headlights on the DRL's go off and my foglights don't turn on at all either. I have no idea where to find this bad wire, but I'm at wit's end and I'm going crazy because of it. My dad thinks it's my driver-side DRL socket, because the socket is all rusty and shitty, as opposed to the passenger-side's perfectly clean DRL socket. I'm so lost here.

Could also be linked to the DRL module behind the stereo. Do a search either on my name or in regards to headlights that I have written or written in. I already went through major grief to get my problem fixed. Also Whitebird was of great help, you may want to ask in the Stereo and Electronics section.
