in dash lights
you take out the DRL fuse under the dash. that's the daytime running lights.
Dodge Rams are not equipped with Daytime running lights.. Although what you can do is turn on the parking lights and select just your fog lights (if equipped) otherwise to have running lights you will need to turn on your headlights. It's not a huge advantage to have running lights, because when the climates come that you need to turn on the headlights anyways, they aren't necessary.
No, its a bad earth somewhere
generally at night.
Try applying parking brake
Turn up your dimmer switch. Should be next to the steering wheel on the dash board.
A weak alternator and/or battery.
To operate the headlights and running lights on a 1998 Chevy Malibu, locate the headlight switch on the left side of the steering column. Turn the switch to the right to activate the parking lights and further to the right to turn on the headlights. The headlights will automatically turn off when the switch is turned back to the off position. For automatic headlights, ensure the vehicle is in the "Auto" position if equipped.
AnswerI assume that you mean why won't the headlights turn off when I turn them off at night. The 98 Malibu has a light sensor that automatically turns on the head lights when it senses a low light condition. Unless there is sufficient light from some other source directed at this sensor, the head lights will not turn off when you turn them off using the switch on the dash panel. They will only go off when the head light switch is in the lights off position and the car is shut off.The only other way to turn the headlights off while the vehicle is running in low-light conditions, is to set the parking brake prior to starting the vehicle. This will prevent both Headlights and Day-Time Running lights from turning on when the vehicle is running.
