    I noticed my daytime running light was out so I bought new bulb. Changed old one out and I could see where it was blown. Installed new one and it still didn't work. Now I am seeing where the low and high beam is not working and neither is the turn signal on that same side, almost as that side is getting no power at all. 2007 Chevy Avalanche

The blinking light is telling you that you have a headlight out, if you look the service light should be coming on when the light stops blinking.
Replace the head light and all should be fine.

I have a 2003 Infiniti m45 and every time I turn the headlights on the dashboard lights gets dim what's the problem?

There is nothign wrong with your car-when you turn on the headlights the car believes you are turnung them on because it is dark outside, so it automatically dims your dashboard lights for you (since it now thinks it's nighttime). Your car already has daytime running lights, so you don't need to turn your headlights on in the daytime-they come on automatically when the car is running. You can keep your dash lights dim or bright by adjusting the small black dial on the left side of the dashboard, whether headlights are on or off if you want to.

How do I disable the daytime running lights on a 1999 dodge durango? I installed hid headlights and when the ignition is on the lights flicker and the module makes a noise due to drl's

this actually happened to me. i would recommend locating the 'DayTime Running Lights' fuse and pull that fuse out. this worked for my 2001 Chevy Cavalier. Hope this helps

DRL-1998 Cavalier Z24

Check your DRL relay that is located in the fuse box. Also check the connector under the battery box for corrosion. (Not a smart place to put a connector) GM really messed up with the wiring on the 98-00 cavaliers headlights.

99 Chevy Cavalier

There should be a relay under the hood or in the fuse box for day time running lights. Most of them are labeled.
