Running lights arent working and neither are the instrument panel lights.

i figured it would automatically be the DRL module but at this point I will listen to all helpful notes!!!!

i was about to replace the dimmer and headliht switch as i figired it may be something to do with those.

any tips?

I posted on the other similar thread. Are we sure a 1990 has DRL? Wasn't required until after December 1st 1989.

I think the DRL thing was an unintended rabbit trail the OP went down.

Ok-Got it.

I just had a similar problem. Do your turn front turn signals work? I had a left turn signal bulb that shorted to ground in the socket. I had no IP or running lights, headlamps worked fine. Didn't notice until I was driving at night. I did have one fuse blown -I think it was INST LPS blown but not the PARK LPs but I could have that switched. Remove bulbs, check the sockets to see if anything funny there.

Could still be a bad headlamp switch (which is cheap and easy to replace).

Turn signals work fine both front and back. Going to replace headlight switch this afternoon and see what happens then. Will post update once i have results.

Cruiser also told me to check to actual fuse box as well. May be something weird happening to the contacts.

ive checked the firewall on the passenger side of engine and cant find that darn DRL module. I will look again this afternoon to ensure im not missing anything. May remove reservoir to check under bracket.
