Problem overview

Some Honda Ridgeline owners report experiencing issues with the DRL (Daytime Running Lights) warning light illuminating despite checking the fuses, lights, and relays. Common causes for this warning light include a faulty bulb that may appear functional but requires replacement, as well as a burnt socket that can trigger the warning. Additionally, some owners find that a defective ambient light sensor can cause problems with the DRL system. Even if fuses have been checked, there may still be a blown fuse related to the DRL system that needs attention. Furthermore, loose electrical connectors can lead to the activation of the warning light, necessitating a thorough inspection of the DRL electrical system, including fuses, relays, and wiring. It is advisable for owners to consult their user manual for component locations and systematically troubleshoot to identify and resolve the issue.
