    I don't think that is the way they are "supposed to operate"!! I have no headlights at night!

    Question wa not clear. When you said "they go off " you meant the DTRL's I think. The there is a relay which is operating incorrectly. Let me see if I can point it out.

SOURCE: how do i change my signal switch in my 1993 mazda 929

Hi Shannon, befor you dive in and replace the indicator switch I would suggest you check the flasher unit. To replace the indicator switch you will need to remove the steering wheel (this usually means using a puller) Don't forget to punch match marks on the steering wheel and the column which must be aligned when assembling. Remove the steering wheel center cover. then the covers on the steering column Removed the screws (usually four) holding the stalk switch. don't forget to disconnect the battery and the wiring connection to the stalk switch. After replacing the assembly is opposite.to dismantling. Regards John

Where is the light relay on 97 jimmy

There is a headlight relay on 1998 models, but not 1997.
And if you have daytime running lights there is a relay for that.
But none of that would affect the dash lights.
So my vote is for the problem being in the actual headlight switch, or a wiring connection. The headlights, parking lights, and dash lights are all on different circuits and fuses. But they all go thru the switch.

My 98 gmc jimmy will not shift out of park

possibly the neutral safety switch connected to the brake pedal is bad. when you apply foot to brake , shouls hear a click with key in run position, this would be the safety solenoid retracting itself from shift linkage, allowing shift lever to move. try pumping rapidly, but easily the brake pedal to see if you can hear click, and or shift from park.

DRL on 1999 GMC Jimmy

With the emergency - parking brake set ? Anytime the vehicle is running an the parking brake is off the daytime running lamps come on . That or the sensor on top of the dash is bad , or the DRL relay is bad or the BCM - body control module . Could have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's stored . Hooking up a factory or professional scanner would make diagnosing this easy . Do you know what wiring diagrams are ? How to use a DMM - digital multi-meter to test electrical circuits ? Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html
Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine . Under system click on lighting then under subsystem click on daytime running lamps . Click the search button then the blue links .

Shortage

This is normal operation. The DTRL's turn off so on coming traffic can see your directional lights blinking. Your daytime running lights are so bright it is hard to see your turn signals during the day.

Also did you know that if you press in/out your dome override switch 3 times you can turn off your daytime running lights. After you hear a "ding" your lights should be off. Do the same to turn them back on.

At night your DTRL's are your highbeams.
