My 1999 DRL's will not work. Yes, I'm one of those who love the look of the yellow lights! I have had the car for 18 months and can not figure it out. Thought I could live without it - but I just want them to work...
I have searched and searched and searched on the forum and seen a lot of good ideas - but nothing has worked yet. I'm up for anything else at this point.
The fuses are in place under the hood and in the passenger foot well. I have replaced both breakers in the passenger foot well also. Turn signals work just fine. I have the reverse lights and fog lights on when I unlock the car. I have replaced the turnsignal bulbs. I have replaced the corner lenses. The car does not have the automatic light sensor as its a low option car. Car is not tuned checked via HP Tuners, as I read somehow that can be tuned out - which I still can't figure out how... And lastly the emergency brake is not pulled one click. And lastly, its not a Canadian car.
I'm out of ideas - I just want the dang DRL's to work! ha - Any other possible ideas?
There are 2 relays in the passenger foot well fuse block for the DRLs. Pull them one at a time and test.
There was something I read a long time ago about disabling the DRL by modifying the relay. This was in regards to making a US spec C5 compliant for registration in Europe.

Have you physically inspected the light sockets? They are prone to corrosion at this point and may be the issue.
Another idea, you may want to follow the wires back from the socket on the passenger side DRL. It should plug into a harness just above the fog light. Make sure that this doesn't have any corrosion, and is securely connected. You've already done everything else that I can think of. You might want to post this in the tech section to see if you can get any more responses.
The main bulb (3157/4157) in the corner markers has 2 elements, one for the turn signal/DRL and the other for the parking lights. The other bulb is a 194 for the side markers.
If the turn signals are working properly up front then the bulb is good along with the socket.
What is the status of the 'brake light' on the gauge cluster? Is it on all the time? If so that will cause the DRLs to not turn on. Parking brake status signal is one of the inputs used to turn on the DRLs.

Did a bit of looking in the service manual. The B0502 and B0507 codes are for the control circuit for the DRL relay. There is testing instructions in the manual that I will post for you later tonight. The instructions do assume the use of a Tech2.
