The daytime running lights on my 2003 Ford Escape flicker

Vehicles equipped with the PASS-KEY or VATS anti-theft system usually require the system be reset whenever the battery is drained or replaced. Follow this procedure.
Step 1 - Attempt to start the vehicle. It will crank, but not run. The security light will be flashing on and off. Leave the key in the run/on position for exactly 10 minutes, then the security light will stay solid or go off.
Step 2 - Turn the key to the 'off' position for 10 seconds. Attempt to start the vehicle. Some vehicles will run at this point, although many will require you repeat repeat Step 1 two more times. Make sure turn the key to the 'off' position for 10 seconds before each 10 minute cycle.
Step 3 - The vehicle is now ready to relearn the proper code. Turn the key 'off' for 10 seconds and then 'crank' the vehicle. It should be running now. The security light might stay on solid for several minutes afterwards, depending on your system.

Do they stay on with high and low beam? If high or low beam make a difference then you likely need a multi-function switch. If they stay on regardless of high or low beam your Daytime Running Light Module (DRL) may be faulty. It should be located on the rad support, ahead of the radiator. Once you located it, unplug it and see if your lights go out. If they do, replace the DRL. If they do not you likely need a headlight switch.

The flashing could be caused by the alternator...that would explain why the battery light is on.

also check your emegency brake, the day time running lights also are controlled by that. try pulling the e' brake pedal up with your hand or foot while pulling on the release handle for the emergency brake,it may only be in need of adjustment. thank you for choosing fixya.com

the daytime runnig lights are inoperative, could be the module, relay or a bulb, usually bad wiring, go to cavalier daytime running lights on the web,, there you will get diagnosis directions

let me know waht is what I will take you along from there

we just replaced the alternator in our 2003 mazda tribute then we were driving it at night and the headlights,dash lights were flickering as if ready to go out.....need help what to do

First check your baterry terminals, make sure they are clean and secure.
If it's your daytime running lights that flicker, check the DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP MODULE
If it's headlights, check the switch.
I hope this helps

change the drl module( drivers side) left below headlight and remove plug, stops flashing and no more drl free solution ....or change drl module approx 70.00 pt price
