DRL/Parking Light Malfunction

Wrangler · 07-25-2020, 08:20 PM

Hello guys, hope you can help me out.

2011/X3/35i suddenly died. Factory battery. I was able to jump start it successfully, however the moment I jump started it, I got the "DRL/Parking light malfunction" message and DRL is out on the passenger side. No other messages or issues.

I don't know if the jump starting has blown a fuse or something more than that.

Could you please share your thoughts/ideas?

Replace the battery and code it, then see if you still have the fault.

Yes ^ also buy yourself a good code reader so you can get the code to the specific issue

Update:

The message is now cleared and the DRL on the passenger side is now working. No action was taken.

Looks like it needs a new battery for sure.

Thanks to najnad and EndOfAnEra for your quick reply.
