Default 2011 Charger (Photo) Daytime Running Lights Failure?

Our 2011 Charger daytime running lights were fine for a few months. Now, they're just constantly off during the daytime. Lights work fine otherwise.

Performing the electronic preference reset to have them back to normally ON does not fix the problem. Is there another fix? Disconnect battery and reboot? Dealer will have it tomorrow for other routine concerns.

Thanks for your help. Awesome car!

Thats cool, know a lot of people with GM's who went through the trouble of disabling those things themselves. That'll save you some trouble.

05,

Assuming the DRL's are set to the on position via the UConnect system, have you checked them while the car is in gear? It may take two people to check this unless you are pulled up against a building or something. If you shift into gear and the DRL's are not on then I suggest having the dealer look at the issue as I could find no service bulletins regarding this problem.

DRL's just eat away your headlight life anyway. . .
