daylights? You mean daytime running lights? Are we suppose to have that on our cars? I don't know...I'm a total newb to this car.
I got a question about high beams though. Is there suppose to be a different way to turn it on? Cuz when I do it like how i would normally do it on my GFs corolla, by pulling it towards you...it just snaps back to place. The high beam works but only if you hold it towards you.
Hope you get your question answered AApero.

Safety Car
If you pull it back far enough, it will click into place.
Not very intuitive in my opinion. I always end up locking it instead of just flashing. I dunno about other cars but for example in BMW, you push forward to flash and pull back on the stalk to lock.

TL no more!
Sounds like a connection issue with the module.
Check and make sure your parking brake is thoroughly disengaged.
Then check if there's a connection with the module. The module is located at the passenger side kick panel.
If they check out, then there's probably a problem with the combination switch (your turn signal switch).
Van, that's Honda for ya. All Honda cars have levers like that. My Explorer was the same as Toyotas too. And yes, DRL (Daytime Running Lights) are exclusive to Canada vehicles other tham GM vehicles, where they have been around in US since '95.

Yup everything checks out. thanks guys.

The Daytime running lights actually use the HIGH beams but at a lower power, that's why both of those would be affected. Even if you have the headlights off and pull the lever back until it clicks, then the next time you turn on your headlights, the high beams will be on. I KNOW the Canadian cars all have DRL's, cause it's been law here for like 15 years. While the high beams on our cars are not the MOST intuitive, I don't find them that bad. Actually other cars, the FLASH is pull back and PERMANENT on for the High beams is usually push forward, this is to make it easier to "Flash to Pass" when overtaking another vehicle.
