Headlights won't go on

This is NOT opposite - it is CORRECT.

IF you turn your headlights on then the assumption is that it is night time (or approaching it) and that it is DARK outside.
This means that the back light does not have to be as bright as it does during daylight in order that you can read the digits on the display

Have you checked to see if the bulbs are burnt out or if the low beam fuses are Blown?

You wasted time & money knowing you have
no vehicle knowledge

Do you not have a repair shop you found years
ago, like you have several doctors you go to?

Take the car to a shop you have researched
really good

there is a day time running light module under the hood. it sounds like it is bad

To disable the drl/auto lights press the dome override button 3 times.a chime will sound once you've successfully done it to let you know.

So what youre saying is the wipers work when the headlights are on
but the wipers dont work when the headlights are off?

I would suspect the turn signal switch is bad. I believe the switch on your S-10 controls
the wipers as well as switching from high beams to low beams. Since that switch is related
to the control of both headlights and wipers.

Could also be the headlight switch. The wiring harness from the turn signal switch plugs
into the headlights switch. I would replace the headlight switch first since you can get one
for around $25. Turn signal switch costs $150-$200. Maybe a little more or less for your vehicle.

you dont know where the dimmer is? on the left, on the headlamp switch or a small knob.

Check power to headlight switch.

The daytime running lights go on during the day when in drive . Is the anything on the dashboard top covering the light sensor making it think its night

Have you verified both high beams are in working order? DRL's are very funny about not working if one of the lights is burned out. Rememeber that DRL's are only high beams using 20% of the power so just because your normal lights work, it does not mean the high beams are working correctly.
