Default 2013 LR2 Daytime Running Lights Issue

Okay, this one is bothering me. I can drive all day and there is no issues with the DRL's, or just with my fog lights on with them. However, shortly after I turn on my headlights the right hand DRL goes out and stays off. Left one does not. The DRLs in this 2013 LR2 are the circular segmented LEDs connected directly to the Headlamp assembly. To me I'm thinking possibly a heat or power problem making that one side shut down. I've been looking at the wiring diagram, but not having much luck. Can anyone help me out? Is there a relay or something I should be looking at? Please help.....

Wild guess.... take out the headlight assembly and look for an accumulation of moisture. Possibly a seal that's deteriorated. I had that happen with a Mitusbishi I once owned, I could actually see the pool of water inside. I just drilled a small drain hole at the lowest point. Problem solved.

LR2's are weird. Just get used to it. Find joy in unweirding it.

Okay, well problem persists. The right hand DRL is completely out now. I did a switch of the headlamp assemblies and the right works perfectly connected to the left side (drivers) however the snag follows to the right side when I switch the left to the right. So, it's either a wire snag, or something else. I did a voltage check on both the left and right connectors, and the voltages all seem the same. I checked the fuses, and even switched over the relays to see if the issue switched. No change. The right side (passenger) does not want to illuminate. There does not seem to be any issues on the connector that I can see. I'm looking at the schematics and don't see where I am losing the signal.


What am I missing???

If there is voltage at the socker or wire, but there is no light, the socket has mechanically failed and needs to be replaced.

They have a common ground. Take the grounds apart and clean the stud and every wire's connection ring. Make sure the stud has good continuity with the body.

Well I meant to bring this back up and it ended up being some kind of fault that was thrown when I had the LED lights installed. I guess the truck did not like the bright lights.

Did you use OEM LED headlight modules?

Sounds more like a bad LED unit since the fault would follow the one module.
