When I release the brake the dash DRL indicator comes on but the lights don't. It's not too big a deal for now. The headlights work fine with the switch. I need to find the wiring diagram sometime to trace the circuit. Mike

Have you checked the fuse yet? It seems there's a lot of comment in this thread about the relay and whether the emergency brake is on. If the fuse is blown, the light in the dash will still work, but the DRL's won't.

Will the headlights work if the fuse is blown? I have looked but did not see a fuse specifically for the DRL. I may have missed it though.
