Help with Daytime Running Lamps
I have an 02 Z06 and my DRL's quit working. Both of them. I took the wiring harness out and checked all the wires, sockets and bulbs. They are all fine so now I am at loss. Is there a relay that I need to check or what else could it be? My turn signals work and the lights work with the headlights on but NO DRL's. I checked all the fuses and they are OK too. I don't know where to go next. I am sure someone has had this problem before and can point me in the right direction. I'm assuming it may be a relay or something but I have no idea which one since I can't really figure out any of the abbreviations on the bottom cover of the fuse boxes.

You said you checked the fuse, but it seems awfully strange that both quit at the same time. Mine quit once and it ended up being a blown fuse. Re-check the fuse for the DRLs in the underhood fuse panel.

I believe Fuse #2 also feeds the reverse lights flash for the alarm activation. Do your reverse lights flash when you arm your alarm?
PM your EMail addy and I can EMail the wiring schematic for the DRLs to you....

Thanks guys! It was the #2 fuse. I had checked all the fuses in the passenger floorboard and thought I had checked the ones under the hood but obviously not. It was smoked! Thanks for the help. I was about to lose it.... You guys are great! 
You guys are great!
