The day time running lights (DRL) resistor may fail causing the daytime running lights to stop working. Our technicians tell us a failed resistor will require replacement.

Daytime Running Light dash indicator will flash approx. three times and the the daytime lights will go off. They will turn on all the lights when it is completely dark, but nothing will come on in the daytime or even foggy conditions. The headlight configuration on my 2005 equinox is 1. Auto 2. Running Lights and 3. On
Note: there is no "OFF" because the car is equipped with daytime running lights. DRLFlag ThisLike | 2 people like this2 -

The DRL indicator lights up and flashes a handful of times on the dash and then goes off. The daytime running lights are not working.
