DaytimeRunningLights and Brights Problem

HI.

Just bought a 1998 CL 2.3 . This is my first CL but i've owned about 5 Tegs and a handful of Accords and a couple of CRXs...anyways

My DRLs aren't working and my right Bright light isn't workiing either. All the bulbs are good, the fuses under the dash and the hood are all good too (no fuses are burning). The harness is getting power...I've read it's possibly/probably the DRL Module???

where is that?

any help would be app'ed

It's under the steering wheel column... it's a gray plastic box... when you drive around does the DRL light stay on, on your instrument panel?

yeah...the DRL light on the instr. panel stays on. no DRLs on outside and ONE bright is burnt.
I saw this prob since i've been reading in forums but I wanted to be sure and I wasn't sure which box was the DRL mod. there's a few box/switched under there.

thanks a mill man

It should say running lights relay on it... I had it fixed before I took ownership of my car and I had the same symptoms that you have...
