I will look at the wiring as you mentioned. You could be on to something.
I'll check it in the morning.

Thanks again roush

The wiring is just hard to even tell what is what under the steering wheel.

I did play with the CPU and made the lights go off with no delay, but they are running as soon as I turn the engine on.

sounds like you are having a problm with the ambient light sensor on the dash.Make sure it is not covered up or missing. Was the truck ever registered in Canada? If so the drl's cannot be shutoff and someone may have wired the drl's to come on with the headlights.

I think It may have been made in Canada.
It says Canada on the door sticker.

The light sensor is not covered, but the dash is after market carbon fiber with a after market NAV as i mentioned previously in this thread.

The head lights stay on and the DRL's do not ever come on. Obviously a wiring issue.

The question is how do i fix it?

I appreciate the responses.....HUMTECH you sound like you know a lot about the wiring.
Thanks for your comments

Check for a jumper wire inthe underhood fuse block from the drl relay to the headlight relay

That's what I meant before when I said the fuse block in the engine bay.....
Looks like someone most have played around with that.

BTW... I know it might be a stupid question.. but you do know that the DRLs only come on when you take it out of PARK right??

Just making sure we're not missing anything bro.

I appreciate the help guys.

I do know the DRL's only go on when its in the drive and they are off in the park position.....but thanks for the heads up.
I put the car in drive with ebrake engaged and got out to check the drl's - confirmed not working. They are amber, not like that matter, but kind of weird.

I will check the fuse box for the jumper in fuse box under the hood.
I'll check it tomorrow and update the thread there after.

Thanks again for helping me trouble shoot this problem.

Checked the fuses. All DRL fuses are not blown.

There is no jump from the DRL's to the heal light relay.

Well after re-reading parts of this post the drls wont be the cause of your prblem. If they come on as soon as you start the truck it must be an ambient light sensor problem. The bcm is thinking its dark out therefore turns on the auto headlights. Best guess would be sensor problem without being able toactually check scan data in person. I would check to make sure the sensor is properly seated in the dash and that it is plugged in

HUMTECH - Any Idea how I can check the ambient light sensor?
The dash was obviously removed at some point when they added the after market nav and carbon fiber dash surrounding the NAV unit.

Questions - How can I check the ambient light sensor without ripping the whole dash apart?

Thanks for your help

Humtech - I didn't even realize you are actually in Canada.
I am pretty damn sure that the truck came from Canada.

It has to be that damn ambient light sensor!! You hit the nail on the head.
Now how can I fix it?
