Default 2003 Anniversary Coupe

I just purchased a 2003 Anniversary coupe. After washing the car the DRL quit working as well as the front turn signals. I didn't raise the hood to spray water there. The rear turn signals work fine but flash quickly. It's as if someone unplugged the front DRL and front turn signals. Any suggestions where to start? Thanks...

My first thought was that you had a crack in lense and water got thru crack on to bulbs . But if both sides don't work odds of both lenses being cracked. Do your lenses show fog moisture in side housing if so maybe there is a crack in lenses or housing. You can replace the one bulb thru front brake duct opening and see if it works.

No cracks or mist that is visible but haven't taken them out to inspect the inside yet. Hope to do that tomorrow... Thanks

If they are original DRL's I bet you have holes in the Housing right where the top of the bulb is...Mine had them from the heat of the bulb, it had melted a hole. I bet yours have them also and got water in there

Good luck. It won't be a hard fix. Just part of the experience.
