Is there a fuse for the DRL's?

gthirtyfizle · 04-27-2009, 04:29 PM

Not seeing anything in the manual. Nothing about parking lamps either. Thought mayb they were together

MaximumPwr · 04-27-2009, 04:39 PM

If your trying to turn them off, you can through the "settings' menu

gthirtyfizle · 04-27-2009, 04:40 PM

Nope, having an issue with them so i want to check the fuse

kmarei · 04-27-2009, 06:00 PM

i think the fuse is for the entire headlight
when i checked the fuses
there is only one fuse per side
whats the problem with the DRLs?

gthirtyfizle · 04-27-2009, 06:02 PM

So basically the DRL not working couldnt possibly b a fuse issue since that would mean the entire headlight not working right?

kmarei · 04-27-2009, 06:05 PM

is everything else working?
did you try all 3 positions on the headlight switch?
auto and the 2 manual settings?
do the turn signals work with the drl mode?
headlight?
corner lighting?

i would also use a mutlimeter to measure the voltage going to the DRLs
should be around 11v when on and 3v when the headlights are on

gthirtyfizle · 04-27-2009, 06:06 PM

Everything is working perfectly. Lights, turn signal, led, all the positions on the knob, EVERYTHING!

At this point im pretty sure its not a fuse issue.

kmarei · 04-27-2009, 06:11 PM

that's weird
are you sure the bulbs are ok?
i would guess its not a fuse issue at the fuse box behind the glove box
is there another fuse box at the driver kick panel ?
i know the lighting wires lead there
don't have the manual with me right now

gthirtyfizle · 04-27-2009, 06:13 PM

I may just have a faulty unit. Dont think its the fuse.

My drls don't work anymore either.... I shut them off for a second last week to see what lights shut off...using the Idrive I then turned them back on and they show the check mark whenever I go into the settings menu but they don't turn on when its sunny outside... So weird

Anyone have any ideas how to get them back on again....everything else with the lights works great and at night of course they are on

gthirtyfizle · 11-07-2009, 06:01 PM

Do you have a check control message?

elp_jc · 11-08-2009, 12:53 AM

Are you guys talking about stock or aftermarket DRLs? I'm betting the latter

. First thing to do is put stock ones back and see if they work. If stock, I'd check the bulbs and voltage on the sockers. Can't imagine DRLs not having their own fuse or relay; maybe a tech can shed some light on this. Good luck.

Stock drls no control message.... I took them off in idrive then I put back on and now they show a chec box but don't come on or show on the dash unless its dark out... I have concenience package and I'm guessing it has something to do with that or the key.... Very confused
