I would suspect the switch. It's the only part that links all of them except the brake lights and turn signals like you described. But I could be wrong.

Don't forget to check the relays first. Check to see if there is 12v coming in.

I have the same problem. Simple, short term solution (what i do at night) shine a flashlight onto the sensor in the bottom left corner of the windshield while driving. You should be able to wedge a light in the dash so you dont have to hold it. You may need to fiddle with the manual light switch to see what turns what on and off while the sensor is illuminated. May be your DRL module... im still waiting for answers....
