Driving lights not working

On the 01, both lights are out. Tested the bulbs and they show good. So have any of you had issues with them not working? Did not see a fuse listed for them. Everything else works.

There are two 15 amp fuses in the PDC for the left and right head lamps. Since both of yours are out I would suspect the headlight switch or the multifunction switch in the steering column. I have also heard of the wiring in the steering column going bad from where the tilt wheel flexes it. Try tilting the wheel up and down to see if the lights come back on.
If only high or low beams are out then it's probably the multifunction switch.

Let me clarify. The lights that are in the bumper are out.

Give this a try. Pull the headlight switch and you will see a two pin connector and a larger one. Unplug the two pin connector and jumper the wires together with the park lights on. If the driving lights come on, your switch is bad. If not, you may have a bad relay in the PDC, or a wiring problem.
