daytime running lights died...2005

2005 Suburban LT.

Just brought my '05 Sub from Las Vegas to NorCal (Rocklin). The Kalifornia Gestapo says it must pass a brake/light inspection along with everything else. Brakes passed fine, but the tech says the DRLs won't work. They were fine as far as I remember....usually see them on the garage door when I pull up. He's checking them in the shop, so I told him to check them while outside so the sensor will work properly.

I don't know why Kalifornia would give a rat's azz about DRLs since most cars don't even have them or use them, but they have me by the balls. On a 2005, what am I looking for> Tech said he checked the fuse and the power to the lights. I can't remember exactly what he said because I was so damm mad after having to pay an extra $60 for registration because my Sub has a salvage title (as if they should get money out of it). I have driven this truck for almost 3 years with no issues related to these lights or anything out of ordinary repairs for a 111,xxx mile vehicle. In fact, it is a great Sub and has served my family well....until this Kalifornia BS.

Any suggestions???
