Why are my DRLs not working?

[sollymate]

I have searched everywhere and looked throughout the manual and cannot figure out what the problem is. I have a lariat, and the DRLs do not come on. I have all of the settings correct, but no lights. From everything I've read, you can't access the bulb without completely removing the headlamp assembly. I've seen some things that say the fuse might be blown, but I cannot figure out what fuse is for the DRLs. Any suggestions?

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? We'd like to investigate this lighting concern on our end. Thanks!

If the Lariat DRLs work like the poverty-edition Mavericks, the truck has to be in “Drive” for them to come on. They aren’t on with just the truck running. Just a thought.

I can tell they are not on when I'm behind other vehicles on the road or if I pull in front of a store with big windows. No lights in the reflection.

Are you able to scroll down to
Daytime Running Lights checked?

A picture of your screen sure would nice. Assuring we are on the same page.

Yes. I appreciate the help, but that is why I made the post and stated that I had all the correct settings. My Daytime running lights box is checked, and auto lamps is on.

Sounds like a trip to the dealership is in order.

That's what I feared.

Well keep us updated.
It'll be interesting to find out what the resolution was.
I only ask for a picture just to verify that we're both doing the same things.
Using my phone take pictures and post on this forum is so easy.
The picture I took of my dashboard took me less than 3 minutes including posting.

Did it work before your deer-strike repairs?

Hmmm
Seems to make more sense now. Repairs from a encounter with a deer. Good info. to have.

I had it for such a short time, but I don't remember ever seeing them turn on. I thought it was strange then, but I only had it for a few days. I guess it's possible I didn't have the settings correct at that point.

I finally was able to drop my truck off at the dealership to get the DRLs looked at and get a second key fob programmed. They said that there were some codes that needed to be reprogrammed. That is not something that I ever would have thought, but they are working now. I was not charged for the reprogramming.
