DRL's Not Working!!!
Hi my 2003 Z06's DRL's are not Working!
Also I noticed in the DIC options when I put "Twilight ON" the lights pop up even if its day time?!!?
What do you guys think the problem is?
Thanx

First thing to check is whether the A2 fuse is fitted. Could a previous owner have pulled the fuse? It would inhibit the DRLs.

I pull my #2 fuse and that would be my first check. Maybe a bad fuse or no fuse. Check your codes, I believe it is BCM 0502/0507 codes that are thrown when the fuse is pulled. Maybe it sends a signal when it is bad also.
As for the headlights...I turn my TWILIGHT OFF, I am not a fan of the car trying to do things that I like to control.

In the DIC, your approach lights should be "on".

Is the sensor on the top of the dash obstructed so that the car thinks it's dark? If not, maybe the sensor has gone out.

Do you have the relay mod? Check to see if ~38 and #40 are fitted footwell panel). If there are jumpers fitted maybe the relay mod was done.

Got the part number
12450121 Daytime running lamp ambient light sensor.
Anyone know how i can have the DRLs on all the time even at night?
Is there a way to trick the car to think it is daytime even at night?
Thanx

Just take the sensor out of the circuit. Light sets a voltage IIRC.

Will the car then think that it is day all the time and have the DRLs on even at night?
