'97 S10 4.3L extended cab. Two problems:
- DRL (headlights) intermittent for a while, then quit completely in daylight mode. Still work correctly in headlight mode. The indicator on the dash still goes on and off when the emergency brake is operated. Where's the relay/control module located? How do I get to it?
- Map and dome interior lights started coming on at random with the doors shut and running the battery down. I was in the truck with all doors shut, heard a couple of clicks inside the left side of the dash and the interior lights came on all by themselves. I unplugged the map light in the rearview mirror and removed the dome light to protect the battery. Is there any way to get to the relay without pulling the dash apart?
Might the two problems be related? Same module? Common ground?
What is the proper name for each module?
Any idea what the dealership would charge for a repair? Most independents are afraid of the electrical system and I'm not really small/limber enough to get under the dash without at least pulling the driver's seat 80(( I also don't greatly trust the local dealership to only do what's needed (past experience).
