I own a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire SE 4 dr When I start the car I have no DRLs Turning on the headlights the driver side is very dim Shifting the car into drive the DRL indicator on the dash clicks on roughly 10 times followed by the Service light turning on Not to be confused with the Engine light Solutions?

I have had the exact same problem. There is an ignition lock that probably went off. There is a fuse box under the hood. The fuse that says ignition on it pull it out and put it back in. This should reset the ignition lock. Its a safety feature because the car thinks that someone was trying to tamper with it.

sounds like your alternator. if you have a multimeter then turn on your car and turn your headlights on/ac and heater fan on high/wipers on and blinkers on. once they are all on hook the meter to the battery and if it reads less then 14 volts then the alt is bad. or you can just take it to a shop and have it tested.

SOURCE: Where is the DRL Module on a 2003 Sunfire?

Fuse panel left side of dash. It's not a typical module it's only a relay. Your instrument cluster has a microprocessor which energizes the relay. In another post someone said there is a resistor behind right headlamp that could be your problem, I haven't as of yet checked the schematics to confirm but sounds right.

htere is a harness connectionunder the battery tray that corrodes, unpllug it and then check for continuaty from there to lights, it is time consuming but these wires are prone to corrosion
