DRLs no longer working Some funny business has been going on with my DRLs recently. The larger of the bulbs (3157 DRLs) does not turn on when the car is on. HOWEVER, the outside bulbs (#194s) DO turn on! It should be the reverse. Turning on headlights does not change anything. Turn signal operates as normal. Car has EL12 flasher (LEDs) and bulbs have been replaced numerous times to try and remedy the issue to no avail. Does the DRL modules go out on these cars? BCM? What gives?

I'm not so sure if incorrect wiring more so than maybe a short. The DRLs have worked fine for years with current modifications and then all of a sudden slowly started doing this.
What does "slowly started" doing this mean? I'd expect if the two circuits were shorted out, the DRL's would still come on.
Is this a Camaro or Firebird? Are you the first owner?
Is it your front marker lights that come on, or do your fronts/rears and your rear tail lights come on also?
The DRL module controls the turn signal bulbs only.

If the DRL module only controls the turn signal bulbs (larger 3157 bulbs), wouldn't that be a possibility if the turn signal bulbs are no longer DRL?
So... If there was a short from the DRL/Turn wire to the wires to control the Parking (and marker) lights, they should all illuminate and blink in unison.
