i have replaced teh fuses and relays altough they didnt need it im leaning towards checking the sensor and the drl control module then maybe the body control module next but if it goes to that im not gonna bother just to be able to mod them

Make sure your parking brake is ALL the way up by pulling the release handle, and the peddle up. That's one of the weird things in Chevys and GMC's, if you push the parking brake, it turns off the DRL's, even if the truck is in gear.

I have mine so all my lights can come on at the same time, Hi's, Low's, DRL's, and the four KC Daylighters that are wired to my factory driving lights.
