I recently had the fault message on my fiat 500 " DRL lamp not working"
so inspected the light clusters & found one of the lamps on each side not working - easy - removed lamp & got replacement. - Although still didnt work!
Started to look for the DRL fuse - but couldn't find its location in any of the manuals.
read many threads , and sounded like other people are having the same issue !
Eventually found that i was replacing the high beam lamp and not the DRL.
And that the DRL & side light are actually the same lamp with two elements, which would explain why i could'nt find the DRL fuse - presume it must be off the" side light" fuse
( also when i was reading threads ,the lamps were spoken about as separate lamps)
Think the reason for my confusion was because i was expecting the head lamp & side lamp to be in the same light cluster and the fact i could see the (DRL/side light ) working - or at least the side light element.Made me believe it was the other lamp ( which is the high beam)
Feel darf at such a simple confusion , but think others are having the same confusion.:bang:
