Just like the title says. The day lights don't work, but the other settings work fine. I was told it could be a fuse, and I looked up a few diagrams online to see if I could match them up with the fuse panel in my car, but they weren't right. I have a 2000 Hyundai accent. I should add I'm not very car savvy. Anybody know which fuse I should check or what else I should be checking? Any help is appreciated!

Edit: So they seem to be working... although for what ever reason, after I switch back to my day lights from my high beams, they go off for about 30 seconds then come back on.

 

It could be minor problem you have,I will say that it start along some loose connection on your day light lamp.

 

juding from your edit, a relay has gone bad. it'll be under the fuse/relay box under your hood. easy fix

 

Ok. Like I said, i'm a total car noob. What do you mean by relay? Is there any articles you can suggest to read on the topic?

Edit: Do you mean that fuses and relays are the same thing?

 

No they are not the same thing. I'd suggest you go to a qualified mechanic to fine the problem.

 

for checking a relay? come on, a drunken chimp can do that. i say check out the relays first and THEN go to a mechanic.

whats a relay? how to replace them? i have two things for you:

1. owners manual

2. google

 

Ok thanks. I'll do some research!

 

For someone that doesn't know the difference between a fuse and a relay, yes, they should seek a mechanic.

 

sorry but i can't agree with that. its like saying that a child that cannot read should get someone to read for them. this is a perfect opportunity for the OP to learn something that is quite easy to learn and could very well be helpful to him/her in the future. if the OP doesn't want to learn it, hey thats fine too. thats why we have mechanics. but telling them go see one outright before taking the time to learn this (if he/she does so desire) seems counterproductive and rather insulting to that person's intelligence.

i say give this person benefit of the doubt here. if they can't figure it out, i'm sure he/she will know enough to see a mechanic.

 

You don't have to agree with it. It's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.
