I have a 1997 Chevrolet S10 and for a long time now my headlights used to flash from high or low beam to daytime running light all by themselves. Now my headlights won't even turn on. All that lights up now is my daytime running lights. When I turn the light switch on my headlights go off completely. I've already changed the daytime running light module and it had no effect. Any suggestions?
We had the same exact symptoms right down to the clicking noise under the dash. A friend who is a mechanic provided all the wiring diagrams, etc and when we pulled the dash we found that there was another enclosure behind the dash.....we stopped there.......
....waited a few days, did some research and decided since a replacement headlight switch was about $50.00 the easiest route was to to swap that out hoping it would fix the problem....was also a very easy installation.
Turns out that fixed the problem. Good luck!!!
Did you try removing the DRL fuse to disable the daytime running lights, and double check your bulbs and fuses for the regular headlights? I'm not much of a mechanic but I'll take that fuse box before messing with anything else.

I have the same problem of the headlights going from on to daylight driving lights and then to back on. Now the headlights will not come on at all. (All parking/break lights still work so I do not believe it is a fuse.) I heard a clicking noise coming from under the dash that sounded like it was in the area of the glove box. Any idea what I should be looking for when I get under there to investigate?
headlights work with engine running, no lights when I turn on switch
Exactly as the first blogger!.
