running Light Issues! Help!!

[DCWITT]

ok this has been driving me crazy for weeks
my running lights have not been working at all and no fuses are blown but i still hear the clicking noise when i turn the switch and i checked all my connections and they are fine what could it be?!

[Mister_Perkins]

The clicking is normal. Have you checked the bulbs themselves by chance?

[DCWITT]

yes all the bulbs are fine
and i know the clicking is normal it just means its not a fuse or relay

[Mister_Perkins]

hmm .. Well the only thing I could think is bad grounds if the bulbs are good, wiring is good, pigtails are good, pins inside pigtails are tight?

[DCWITT]

yes i checked all plugs and they are tight i did notice one unplugged wire
the color is black and white but i cant find where it goes it might be a ground wire

[Mister_Perkins]

Could be.. Check it for voltage first, if it doesnt have voltage attach it to the body somewhere and see if your lights pop on. (Make sure the running lights are active when checking for voltage )

Hmmm. this is a Canadian answer, so yours may not work the same way but. My DRL's seem to run off the high beam lights, at a reduced voltage. You say you have checked the bulbs, but do your high beams work? If not the problem is defininitely in your running light relay/fuse, wiring system

[DCWITT]

yes my high beams do work i will be replacing the relays this weekend

What all is not working? The click you hear is a relay, most likely for your low-beams. Do your dash lights come on when you turn the switch? Tail lights? License plate lights? If not, it's most likely a bad switch or open circuit in the light control circuit.

If those all come on and it's just the running lights (side markers?) that stay off, check out that circuit first.

Good luck!
