97 E350 - No running lights

Hi,

I have a 1997 E350 Econoline panel van. The running lights (front and back) are not working - headlights, brakes, backup, and turn signals are OK. I've checked fuses and bulbs. The only thing thatI noticed was that there is supposed to be a 15 amp fuse for the horn and DRL module, and when I checked it, it had a 25 amp fuse in it (not blown). So I changed it to a 15. But a while back I had to have my horn replaced because it was blown. I'm wondering if somehow having a 25 amp fuse where there should have been a 15 could have burned out the DRL module.

So, where is the DRL located and is it easy to replace? Or is it possibly something more simple than that?

Thanks,
Doug

Click the photo of my truck and then scroll down to the DRL link and the info is there.

Thanks for the info.

Is the DRL module you are talking about the same as for regular parking lights? Because that's what's not working - I don't have DRL where the headlights come on during the day.

Thanks,
Doug

Not sure what your concern is. Day time running lamps are indpendent of parking lamps. Any thing else not working.

So maybe I was unclear.....

It is the parking lights that are not working. I do not have DRL.

I've checked bulbs, fuses, etc. and as I said, turn, backup, brake, and headlights work.

So I'm just trying to figure out where to fix the parking light problem, as it means I can't drive at night - I have headlights but no rear tail lights.

Thanks,
Doug
