DRL Diagnosis

Driver side DRL is not working yet both high beams work, meaning it is not a burnt bulb.

Where should I begin? E-brake? Relays?

Thanks

Likely the DRL module..it's a bunch of relays that aren't replacable easily ( soldered)

The module is under passenger side dash.....

Is there a DRL module for each headlight side? Can only one side stop working with a DRL module?

Still working on this problem but now the high beams stopped working on the passenger side. It is not the bulb because I tried replacing the bulb with a brand new one.

I measure voltage to the high beam connector and got around 3-4 Volts. Symptom of a bad DRL module or something else?
