Generally, a blinking DRL indicator on the dash means that there is
a headlight burned out. Replacing them is cheap and easy.
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.
yes thay do have DTR on a 1995 sunfire
The daytime running lights on a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire might not work due to a blown fuse, a faulty relay, or a malfunctioning light sensor that controls the operation of the lights. Additionally, issues with the wiring or connections leading to the headlights could also prevent the lights from functioning. It's also possible that the bulbs themselves are burned out and need replacement. Checking these components can help diagnose the issue.
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.
fuse box on the inside of the car, driver side
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.
The 2004 Pontiac Aztek does not have automatic headlights; the headlights must be manually turned on by the driver. However, it does feature daytime running lights that activate when the vehicle is in motion. For night driving or low-light conditions, the driver needs to switch on the headlights manually.
yes, they are always on. as in most gm vehicles they have daytime running lights.
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...
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 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.
u have a blown headlight. change both bulobs and it will stop.
