I have a 2005 Equinox with a bad DRL (daytime running lights)resistor. has anyone out there replaced this part themselves? I hear it is located behind the front driver side wheel well.
Can someone let me know how difficult it is to change? I'd like to do this myself andneed a bit of guideance.
Thanks in advance,
Buchu

Does anyone know where I can buy this resistor online? I've looked at GMpartsdirect but all they have is the bolt.
Thanks for your help!!
