The running lights (daytime headlights) no longer come on when ignition is on. The wiring diagram shows a DRL relay (daytime running lights) but does not state where this is located?
Follow the wires to the drl relay. It must be inline from the regular light switch to the headlamps. I have a 1990 Cadillac Deville that has an aftermarket module that controls the daytime running lamps, and it is mounted on the driver's side wheel well.
Some relays are found in the fuse box under the hood.
If your daytime running lamps burnt out, take it to an electrical shop and ask them to check it out.
If you buy an aftermarket daytime running lamp kit, they can install it for you.
But, I agree, you should check for voltage and function at the relay for the daytime running lamps on your Astro.
But, if all else fails, the electrical shop should be able to diagnose and repair this problem.
The biggest problem with the DLR's on these vehicles is that the bulbs burn out like crazy. I out in bulbs that are rated at a higher voltage---if the bulb says 12 v on it , get a bulb that is rated at 14 or even 18 volts. May not be as bright, but they won't burn out very often.
