I know this is an ancient thread but it's the most recent one for DRL issues and I figured it would be better to revive an existing thread instead of making a new one.

My DRLs used to be on all the time, even when the car was parked. Now, they don't turn on at all (unless I put the headlight switch to on) and I can't figure out why. Driving around town I would see them in the reflection of cars in front of me, but now I don't and that's what clued me in.

I've read a bunch of stuff but all the tricks I can find aren't working. The appropriate settings are set in FORScan, the setting is enabled in my cluster menu, and my headlights are always set to auto. From what I can tell, that's all I need for the DRLs to work normally, right?

The expected behavior is DRLs are on when the car is on, out of park, and lights set to auto or on, and my desired behavior is DRLs are on when the car is on, regardless of what gear is selected or what position the light switch is in.

I'm stuck. Anyone have advice for what I can check? Hopefully I'm just missing something that's super simple 😅

In my car, if the shifter is in PARK, then the DRL do not come on. If I put in DRIVE they come on. They will also come on if I perform a remote start, but once I put the car in the regular run mode, they will turn off.

I figured it out a while ago, but the issue was the check box in the gauge cluster menu that turns DRLs on or off was unchecked. facepalm I swear I had checked the box!
