flickering Daytime Running Lights

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 08-May-02 AT 11:05 AM (EST)]So, I am driving along.. wondering why vehicles in front of me are pulling over and acting wierd.... after a few days I notice that my Daytime Running lights are flickering High-low in a regular pattern....(kinda like headlights on police cars )

When I turn the headlights on via the dash switch, the lights come on constant. But in the park light or off position the DRL flicker on and off...

This just started happening ... anyone got any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

PS. 1999 Explorer - Canadian Edition.

maybe u have a loose wire, my right fog light did that once, it was a bad fuse. or your explorer is having an identity crisis, i guess all trucks wish they could be the Police. "respect my authority"-cartman on southpark

I had the same problem on my 2001 Sport. It was the DRL Module, had it replaced and works ok now.

Almost had a few accidents at intersections, people kept thinking I was signaling them through
