DRL module likely burned out. Clean your battery terminals. I hacked my burned one with a single jumper wire from the only constant hot power input (greenish if I remember right, third pin over from one side) to its closest neighbor connection on the board (or the big solder ground anchor blobs) and pulled the high beam light bulb because that then stays on. Llights are now off, system finally hacked OK except for no high beam indicator. (Hi beams, lights all still work by the switch.) I haven't checked if lights are on automatically during the day yet.

Possibly your lights are on timer, or an auto dim, or auto lamp function.

Yes, transient current. Typically happens with damaged taillight bulbs, or poor ground. SO, when you step on the brake, rather than the current going to ground after the stop element, it goes into (and powers up) the running lights, of which dash lights are part of....
Look for ground issues, run external ground if needed, for testing purposes..

i would say your interior light's are turned all the way down you should have a rheostat right beside your head light switch try turning the dial, while your head lights are on and see if your dashlights get fixed

Dash light do not come on but lights do for drl on 2005 chev equinox

DRL (Daytime Running Lights) will come on any time you start your car.
The dash lights do not come on, unless your headlights turn on. Either by a daylight sensor or if you manually turn them on by the switch.
So even though your headlights are on with the DRL, if you notice the tail lights do not come on (just like the dash lights don't).

To test if your dash lights do work, turn your headlight switch on. You should the the tail lights and dash lights come on.
