Default 2002 Suburban No DRL's. Help?

Wife and I heard a beep in 2002 Suburban. Looked around saw nothing. Laughed about it. Well, not funny now. No DRL's. I checked relay, good. Checked fuse, good. Checked bulbs, good. Wtf? lol. DRL module? If so, where is it at and what's the model number?

Thanks

I have a 99 which is very much like the 2002 and when I had problems with my DRL's it was the socket the bulb plugs into. There is much heat from these lights and that damaged the socket causing it not to make a good connection. Might not be your problem but is worth a try.

Yes, they look burnt.

No DRL, and only headlights come one instead of DRL in day light and night. So, headlights are always on now. I assume something senses that there is no DRL and the regular headlights come on?

New dash mat made the lights come on always. Going to fix that tonight. Going to get some new DRL bulbs and I will post back.

I have a 2002 Suburban and recently found a blown DRL, I noticed the bulb holder was scorched due to the constant heat from the bulb, so I replaced both with the equivalent LED, I little bit brighter and no heat, straight swap. Hope this helps.
