This seems to be a very common Sunfire problem. It seems GM didn't do to great of a job with the wiring harness. I have a 2000 Sunfire and just spend four hours chasing down the exact same problem. Check the three bulb wires. If you have 12 V on all three wires the reason is probably a poor ground connection. On mine the lights are grounded to the chassis under the battery tray and air filter. Make sure it's properly grounded. Next trace the wiring back further. I found a large (15 pin) plug(under the battery tray)that had a hole ate through it from an earlier battery leak. To get to the plug you need to remove the battery and air cleaner box. I found that the ground pins where melted probably due to an power surge. I cut the ground wires on both sides of the plug and connected them directly instead of through the plug. Low- and high beam are working fine now.

How do you turn on daytime running lights on a 2005 Jeep Liberty?
They should come on automatically when the vehicle is in operation. If they're not, you might have an electrical problem. If your vehicle is a U.S. vehicle and you want daytime running lights, you must purchase a daytime running lights (drl) module for about $50. and place it in the fuse area off the driver's side dash. Remove the hi beam module and then find someone with a Jeep/Chrysler computer that can flash your computer board and change the country code to Canada and voila, you will have daytime running lights.

It is due to your daytime running light not working properly or a burnt headlight, check your bulbs. I had the same problem and that was the problem.

If the daytime running lights are out on 2002 Pontiac Sunfire sedan but headlights work and service lights come on when running lights try to go on how can you fix this on your own?
you need to change the bulbs Once the running lights burn out the rest of the bulb doesn't work right one of my low beams went out and the running light would flash a light out display and the rest of the lights would work right. I replaced it and everything went back to normal You can also try replacing the DRL (daytime running light) relay in the fuse box on the side of the dash. It pulls right out...$12 for replacement. From my experience the problem may not have to do with the DRL, but with the turn signal switch / headlight switch module. These are approximately 59.00. You will need a steering wheel puller, screwdriver (flathead), and possibly pliers. Be sure to disconnect the battery before servicing though.
