No daytime running lights

Just replaced my turn signal bulbs as one had blown, now I have no daytime running lights and the turn signals don't work. When I turn on the hazards, they work fine. I've checked the fuses. Anyone know anywhere else I can look?

Checked the sockets and they aren't corroded. I replaced them about 6 months ago. Anything else I can look at?

Umm from what I understand, there is a DRL control module inside the dash, behind the radio.

You may need to replace your turn signal flasher, especially if you just installed LED's.

What type of bulb did you put in? Did you try putting the old ones back to see what happens? (Sounds like one of them was still good?)

Where is the turn signal flasher found?

Flasher is under the steering column. There are 3 or 4 screws holding the plastic piece under the steering column, take that off, it's off towards the right side if I remember correctly. Unplug and put in the new one.

Are you sure you have the right model # for the new bulbs? (For the front, you need a 3457 bulb.) There are some other model numbers that look almost the same and fit the sockets, but won't work.

Figured it out, I think! Looks like the wires came out of the driver side plug, which, I didn't know until know, throws the whole system out of whack.

I'll fix that this weekend and hopefully that will do it. Thanks for everyone's help.
