I have a question regarding this DRL Module. Thanks to this Thread I have finally figured out what the heck this box/module is called. The problem that I have is that this thing ticks like a time bomb. It will absolutely stop when you pull up on the parking brake enough to make the warning light come on.
I have an M6 car. I took this thing out and looked at it and can find no obvious problems. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is making this thing tick, literally? Should I just replace it?
Thanks for the help!

There are four relays inside the DRL module - park lamp, headlamp, left turn, and right turn. It is possible one of those relays is causing the noise although I would expect that there would be other symptoms such as flashing lights. In any case, the DRL module is not serviceable (not by ordinary mechanics - if you're good with electronics and a soldering iron you might be able to work on it) so it has to be replaced as an assembly.
Unfortunately, the module costs over $100 retail at a GM dealer although you can find it somewhat cheaper online.
