Default Running Lights Dead

Hi All: New to the forum, looking for some help. Just had my night time running lights go dark on me. Headlights work, brake Lights work, and so do the flashers and left and right turn signals. I checked all the fuses, and could not find any bad ones. So much for a quick fix. I did a little research online, and it led me to believe it could be a relay and not a fuse at all. Any advise would surely be appreciated. Thanks to all. Joe.

they are not fog lights (don't let them lie to you) they are technically "accessory lights". so if you have them both full time disabled you *should* pass inspection nope no idea why. check ground. start at bulb and test for power back to fuse box if necessary if it goes through a BCM or (power dist. mod.) computer avoid those don't unplug or test

Default Problem Solved

Hi All: Thanks to those who commented to assist me. I found the problem. It was a blown relay module. Fifteen dollar part at local Auto Parts store. Hard to tell when they are blown. No tell tale signs to notice. I noticed several of the modules were the same, so I swapped them out until I noticed the lights came on. Process of elimination enabled me to find out exactly which one was bad. Thanks Joe
