DRL WORK BUT NO TAILLIGHTS OR DASHLIGHTS AT NIGHT WHATS WRONG ?
I FIXED THIS ISSUE IN MY CASE. NOT TOO HARD IN A FEW MINUTES.
I didn't know there was another fuse box in the crevice of opening the passenger door. It helped when I found that out in the owners manual.
Narrowed things down by checking to see if I had rear parking/running lights since I heard this was also the dash light fuse.
*I did not have these rear parking lights coming on, just when I would apply the brake*
Sure enought that 15A fuse was blown, its in the passenger side box. I heard in my searching for a fix that this fuse also controlled dash lights. Sure enough it does! ( I have 2000 base model 3.4 impala)
SO, Things worked after that, UNTIL I MOVED MY ASH TRAY IN AND OUT A FEW TIMES!!
The dash lights flickered a bit when I moved the ashtray in and out and after a few times I heard a POP! and no more dash lights just like before. Fuse was blown, and I didn't have another 15A that wasnt plugged in making something work. My ashtray light had not been working for the last while by the way.
SO, I pulled out a 15A fuse from the the slot that said CIG on the passenger side, I never use the 12v ports anyway. (used it for the rear parking light/dash light slot to get the dash lights working again.)
*But, the dash lights looked a little lazy, meaning I could see a bit of a powerup happening over 1-2 seconds to full illumination*
SO. then I went in the book and found out what fuses that had anything to do with the ash/aux outlet sliding tray which was good at popping the fuse that lit up the dash. I wanted to disable the ashtray light and 12V ports in the tray to be safe.
I already pulled the appropriate 15A fuse on the passenger side which I used to bring the dash and rear parking lights back. But also, I decided to remove the 10A fuse on the drivers side that was for the accessory outlet. ( it might have been labelled CIG?)
Dash lights come on fast and solid now, sliding the tray does not have an influence or cause flickering.
My car is old enough that I don't care about having to rearrange fuses to make things work, If end up needing the 12v ports I can put the 10A fuse back in since the tray needs to be held open anyway.
I hope this helps.

The DRLs are supposed to come on when the vehicle is running and in Drive . Check the relays/fuses for the headlights and it could be the switch itself going bad. BBB Industries online have great wiring diagrams and the owners manual will have most of the relays/fuses in them.
On a 2002 Impala, the DRLs don't come on until after a few minutes of driving and the headlights do not come on at night even when you move the switch manually. The high beams still work.
Thanks for any suggestions.

DRL WORK BUT NO TAILLIGHTS OR DASHLIGHTS AT NIGHT WHATS WRONG 2002 IMPALA. I HAVE REPLACED BULBS AND STILL NOTHING FUSE IS FINE
Headlights must be turned on for tail lights to work, does this happen when you turn on headlights, or just while DRL is being used?
