2009 HONDA CIVIC DRL (Daytime Runninng Lights) and Highbeams not working.

please don't use abbreviations like 'Drl'. Only you know what it means. 'Daytime Running Lights' is worth typing in full. It is part of the Body Control Module according to this

relay usually is in the fuse boxes or under steering wheel compartment.

no year, 1973? is first civic, see my confusion>?

are you in CANADA. DRL heaven?

check fuses first , as always.

DRL failure. there are many.

some cars even cut DRL for.

hand brake stuck on , or any brake failure.

or charge system failure, (so the battery stays working longer)

we use a voltmeter at the DRL module , checking all pins

to find out why its dead.



this is covered in the FSM how to test DRL.

If your parking brake is on/set they don't come on until it's off. That's how my 08 Si works. Otherwise, check fuse box (not sure if it's under the hood or under driver side dash) or the bulbs themselves may need replaced. Barring that broken wire ight be the last culprit. Work in the order i wrote, basically easiest to hardest to fix/troubleshoot.

I asked my VW friend. He said that bulb was only intended to keep the headlight area slightly lit up in the event the main light burnt out.
Some sort of safety feature.
He also said DRL's were not an option on his 2009 rabbit

The DRL stands for daytime running lights. There is an electronic module that controls the operation of this that is located under the dash, which is probably where your noise is coming from. The noise goes away when you turn your headlights on because the DRL will disengage. I have replaced these before on civics and it should cure your problem. When ordering your part ask for a "daytime running light module". Hope this helps.

High beams dont go on at all? Does the DRL light dissapear when u turn on the headlights? Now, because your high beams dont work, it more likely means that you need to replace your bulbs. Because if it would be a problem in the car itself, only the DRL system would fail. Im 80% sure that changing your bulbs will solve the problem.

On my 2007 Honda CR-V The DRL code appeared on the dash board. Additionally I had only one high beam (on the passenger side); both low beams were fine, but I did not have a Daytime Running Light on the drivers side. The DRL code was really misleading because the real problem was that the high beam element in the headlight bulb was burned out. Note that the daytime running light is not a seperate bulb -- it is the high beam element which is powered at a low voltage. Once I replaced the head light bulb everything worked fine and the DRL code on the dash board was gone. So if the DRL message appears what you really need to do is replace the headlight bulb (there are YouTube videos which show how to do this - but search for headlight replacement, not for DRL fix). Be careful not to touch the new bulb with you hands since premature burnout can occur from the grease off your skin. I got my bulb from Wal-Mart for $8.88 (it's a 9003/HB2 for the 2007 CR-V) -- that's a pretty cheap fix.

check the fuses and if not that make sure there are no wires exposed and that they are pluged in

this indicates the "Driving Lights" are defective. Check your sidelights to see if they are actually on when you want them on. Check the connections for corrosion - especially the earthpoints, as sometimes they corrode underneath which is difficult to spot.
Another area to check is the stalk, and obviously the fuses and bulbs themselves.

This should rectify the problem for you.
