Default DRL Issues

Having an issue with the passenger DRL being partially out while the driver side working. Has anyone had this issue or know how to fix it? I would think the whole strip would be out rather than just the verticle section of it. Minor issue but still annoying. I'd appreciate any help!

It's still under warranty; have Ford replace it.

Man, isn't this the theme with this gen of truck. So sick of taking this truck to the dealer. Was hoping there was an easier fix.

Is it always off or it flickers? There was an issue affecting the headlights of trucks with the quad-beam lights like yours. It was addressed with a BCM update that either came OTA or applied by the dealer. If it is off all the time, I don't think the update would help the cause.

It is always off. I guess I should mention this truck also suffered from phantom battery drain. On my 3rd battery with 60k miles. Local dealer will keep my truck for 2 weeks and find nothing. Not sure if that has something to do with it.

If you send me your VIN, I can pull any DTC's your truck may be recording.

The DTC's below are being recorded in your truck consistently. I don't see anything related to the headlights or BCM here that I can associate with the DRL. According to PTS, your truck has an ESP where your truck is still covered under warranty and you need an oil change anyway. While your truck is at the dealer, have them perform a battery test and have them look at the following FSA's that may or may not apply to your truck:
  • 21M08 UNINTENDED TAILGATE OPENING
  • 22S12 WIPER MOTOR INOPERATIVE
  • 23S10 BOTH FRONT WIPER ARM INSPECTION

Thanks rugedraw. What would the process be for dealing with those DTC's? Is it very extensive?

Also, 22S12 and 23S10 do apply to my truck.

As for the dealer testing the battery, I'm not holding my breath. I have been left stranded with a completely drained battery multiple times with the dealer finding no draws and just replacing the battery each time and happening again. Been pretty frustrating for sure, but thanks for the additional info.
