Thought I had a bad headlight bulb...Switched it out. Same thing. Drivers side daytime is out. Also no High beam on that side which makes sense kind of as daytime running lights are a reduced power high beam from what I have read. OK...Well must be a fuse...Nope all good. Meter reads 12 volts on high and low beam at the light connection. Well then it's gotta be the day time running light relay/module of course. It's not delivering enough power. Ordered one and... No change. Thoughts? Other than a bad brand new relay I am stumped. considering going to see a buddy with a gasser lib and swapping relays to see if my new one is D.O.A. I am busy over the weekend but will try to check for any replies/suggestions. replies. Thanks all!!
PS if your darling daughter ( or anyone else) asks you to replace a headlight bulb on an 09 Malibu....Go to the dentist. It will be more fun.
If you say you are getting +12 volts on the high and the low beam but still no light did you measure across the high and low points on the bulb connector with reference to the chassis or with reference to the ground contact on the bulb connector?
In other words are you sure the bulb holder is not missing its ground?
Could be one of the other relays on the Junction Block which is where your Daytime relay is plugged....high beam relay is on the bottom of that panel and low beam relay is on the rear of that panel. You can download the 2006 Service Manual here...includes circuit diagrams, explains how daytime running lights work in Canada and shows you the locating of the other relays on the front and rear of that fuse/relay panel (Junction Block)
