One side works perfectly but the other side DRL will not come on when I flip on the DRL or headlight. I know the light works because it comes on when the blinker is turned on. I have 3 wires running to the DRL but not sure which is the problem or if the problem is somewhere else. Pics for reference of wiring

    Is the tapped side the one not working?
    Does switch pro function correctly? Just for grins did you swap turn signal bulbs?

    Tapped side isn't working but I removed the T tap from the DRL and did an add a fuse. Switch Pros works perfectly. Stock turn signal bulbs

    What did you do? Tap the DRL? You can do everything the switch pro needs with add a fuse

    Sounds like the vampire clip cut the wire completely.

    I thought it did but I removed the t tap and crimped it back together (in the picture). If my crimp didn't work I figured the light wouldn't have power at all since it works when I use the turn signal but maybe that's the problem?

    So the light comes on for blinker but doesn’t stay on solid for DRL like the other side? DRL works on the other side?

    My hunch is you don’t have a good connection with the crimp. Not sure what else could be the issue.

    Do you have a volts meter? And do you know how to use it? I'd check for power at the plug then check the circuit that is not working. Check the easy stuff first. Bulb, fuse, cut wire, the connector.
