DRLs not working

PROBLEM: my day time running lamps are not working. i was going to change the bulbs over to ambers but when i put them in neither side is working. i have checked the fuse and it is ok. i also checked for power to the DRL fuse and that was ok. there was no power to the DRL bulbs.

HISTORY: when i first bought the truck i hated the DRLs with a passion along with the auto head lights. to fix this problem i pulled the fuse for the DRLs. after that i did some research and found a fix for the auto head lamps for my 99 gmc sierra. the fix was to replace the sensor in the middle of the dash with a 12v led. the way that the sensor worked had something to do with resistance. with out the led the lights would be on all the time. So i did the fix and it works perfectly.

any ideas what the problem might be?

Re: DRLs not working

they only work when the truck is in drive and parking brake not applied. they do not come on in park.

hmm thats strange i just switched my drls to yellow or amber I too thought they were not working when I switched them but yes the car has to be in drive and e stop depressed it also has to be sunny and takes a few min. to activate what i did was drive around wait for them to activate then come to a stop light with a car in front of you, you should be able to see the reflexision of the light bulbs on front of you hope this helps
