The first time the problem went away and I thought it was the headlight switch, now it is back. The temperature each time was 0 degrees C or 32 degrees F and it occured last fall and now in the spring. The running lamps flicker. The headlights are fine.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Do the dashlights flicker?
I would use a wiring diagram to find common connections that may be loose or corroded. Also I would check all the grounds for the circuit.

Just daytime running lamps flickering,, No others,, Sounds like a bad daytime running lamp(DRL)module or a corroded connection at the module. Make sure the highbeams don't flicker when on . The DRL module runs the highbeams at a reduced voltage.

It is now May and the running lights have gone out completely.....at least there is no more flickering for people to flash their lights at me!! I can find no other effect.....high beams work, etc. Legally, do I have to replace it in Canada? If so, is it located under the left front fender?
Thanks

It is the daytime running light sensor module. Dealership has confirmed.
