Weird behavior with electrical

Hey guys, I', not sure if anyone has seen this before.
1- Interior lights won't turn on when I open the doors, I checked the switch on the left and its set correctly, and lights turn on when its set to on so I doubt its a fuse issue. Any ideas?

2- I noticed that sometimes the DRL won't start when I switch on the lights turning the knob to first position, I have to turn on the headlamps and then go back to DRL, it doesn't end there if I switch off the car it will object that lights (DRL) are on !!!

 

Sounds like maybe a loose ground somewhere……or did you happen to to replace any of the interior bulbs with led’s? That has been known to cause some issues. Make sure if you did put led’s on the interior fixtures) that they are seated properly especially at the rear dome long. If contact is being made on the metal reflector it can cause a short that doesn’t allow it to operate properly. Not sure if that could also cause the drl gremlin as well.

 

As a matter of fact I did, and I also changed my HU to a Tesla like one but it has been running for sometime with no issues.

If I had a problem with the bulbs won't that cause it to stop working in all cases?

 

Not necessarily……I had an intermittent issue similar to yours and just trimmed the dome light reflector and haven’t had a problem since. It may take some one but if you are trying to see if this is the problem, one by one replace the bulbs with the stock bulbs. If your electrical gremlins go away, that’s your culprit……

 

It turned out to be a setting in the headunit, which fixed most but I still have a problem with puddle light
