Generally, a blinking DRL indicator on the dash means that there is

a headlight burned out. Replacing them is cheap and easy.

How can i fix a 1999 Pontiac sunfire that the tail lights and brake lights are not working but daytime runners and back window brake light works what is wrong?

On my 98 sunfire, the tail lights and marker lights only work if you turn on the headlights. If only the daytime lights are on, the Pontiac on the trunk is illuminated but no other lights at the rear until brakes or turn signals are activated. This is common with a lot of vehicles out there. Daytime running lights are not necessarily the same candle power as the headlights. I can tell a big difference in mine.


Does 1995 Pontiac Sun-fires have Daytime running lights?

2001 Pontiac sunfire daytime running lights not working and hi beam headlights turn off all headlights?

Had the same problem. Found it to be a bad ground wire for the headlights. There are two ground wires for the headlights, both are directly below the battery. You can see one of them if you remove the drivers side headlight. It is right behind the radiator hose. The other is a few inches from that one.

Both of your regular headlights are out but your highbeams and daylight saving lights come on is this normal Pontiac Vibe 2003?

No, it's not normal. Some 2003 Vibe's have automatic headlights triggered by a light sensor. If you leave the headlight switch in the middle setting between "on" and "off" they will come on by themselves when it's dark. If you turn them off the daytime running lights will still come on and the high beams will still work but the headlights won't come on automatically at night.


Are the headlights on a 1998 Pontiac grand prix automatic?

Why are the headlights remaining on after a 1991 Dodge Caravan engine is turned off?

I am having the same problem with a 1994 model. The high beam indicator is also on. I believe it is related to the daytime running lights because when I turn on the headlights the lights get brighter. As I understand it daytime running lights are the highbeams at about 50% power. I need to find where that relay is and test/replace it. wish me luck...


Why do your headlights always stay on in the Pontiac vibe?

What you're seeing is not your headlights. They are your Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs'). They are a great safety feature, making you much more visible to other drivers.


The daytime running lights quit on your 1998 Pontiac Sunfire now the high beam indicator light is on constantly The relay is good but when removed the drivers side headlight turns off?

I am presently having the same problem on my '97 sunfire. According to the wiring diagram, the daytime running lights are actually just the highbeams running in series. For whatever reason, I don't have a driver side high beam either. I assumed it was the relay, but I might be mistaken. Where is the darn relay located anyway? the relay is in the fuse box inside the car on the drivers side door panel

What is the flashing light top left on dashboard of 1998 Pontiac sunfire?

If it's just a round flashing light that has no indication as to it's meaning, it's probably the Daytime Running Light indicator. It's only on when the headlights are OFF. If it's flashing, it generally means that one of your DRL's has burned out.


How come the headlights in my 98 sunfire gt won't turn on. The daytime light dash light blinks and all my other lights work but not my head lights. They only work if i hold the leaver in. Help?

I have a similar problem in my 98 sunfire, my Highbeams wont turn on and i have replaced the bulbs. Also had the same problem in a 98 Pontiac trans sport minivan. It is an electrical issue with a lot of GM pontiacs. There is a fuse located somewhere near the heating unit which controls your lights. Your guess is as good as mine why they decided to place a fragile fuse next to the heater. If your lucky, you wern't driving on a mountain side in Banff Alberta when your highbeams craped out at 10pm. I had my heat blasting because it was cold, the heat killed the fuse which shut my lights off. The fuse was about $30 i believe, put it in myself. - Ryan b
