    I just noticed mine are no longer working on my 2017 Offroad. Was curious if an online update might have changed anything. I did double check and make sure they were turned on in the head unit.

    Yikes. I'll check mine before I leave work. I leave them on all the time unless I'm using the headlights on the way home.

    Are they all the way not working? or intermittent?

    When the switch is on for just the day time lights they are off. Headlights on they are lit.

    Are we talking about the DRL lights? I though those were on if you put the switch there.

    Yes my DRL lights are not on with the stalk switch in the first position where they should be. When I put the stalk into headlights on the LED DRL part lights up but dim.

    They are on in the head unit. I turn them on and off several times in there and did a battery reset.

    They don't turn on until the parking brake is off, I have noticed.

    Was the brake set? Perhaps maybe by just a click?

    Parking brakes aren't all that strong you could probably drive with the brake all the way set. If the brake was barely engaged you'd never feel it.

    It's very possible. This is where this forum is awesome! I had my meter ready for the next day and definitely would have over thought it. Plus I have a bunch of LED lights ready to install. Thanks again everyone four great input and no bullshit

    I drove around for almost a month with the p brake barely engaged. This was a work truck so I never thought to check the pb since I never used the pb, and I didnt pay attention to the gauge cluster since all the service lights was already on.
