For as long as I've been driving my car, I've had this light blinking on the dash. All my exterior and interior lights are working fine, so I can't think of what the blinking light means. It's not really a problem, but kind of annoying since I can see it out of the corner of my eyes when I drive.

The light goes away when I turn on the headlights, but it blinks when I have the headlights off. Anyone know what it could be?

I have a video of what I mean, but it's in a different format then the forum allows. So here's a link to the video.... http://tinypic.com/r/2djk9d/7
 
it looks like your high beam indicator, do the high beams work?
 
Their not very powerful but yes they do work. After we drove it home from my gf's moms house after we fixed it (had been sitting for 1 1/2 years), I tested out all the exterior lights to make sure everything worked and the high beams worked. But I'll double check that to make sure.
 
Burned out low beam or DRL not working!

I never said I was ordering them online. Plus, there are websites that sell them for real cheap with free shipping.

I don't know. I'll check that out later when I go pick up my girlfriend.

I just got in from changing my DRL bulbs and the light is still blinking. But I turned on my lights and looked at the front end with them on and all the lights seem to be working properly.

I'm selling the car soon so if I don't get it fixed by then, oh well. Got more important car problems to worry about.

I also JUST replaced all the fuses under the dash that needed a fuse, but I guess I'll see if I missed any or if any have blown since then.

its the relay under the hood, not any fuse in the dash. replace the relay and the lights will work properly.

Ok cool, thank you. I'll take a look tomorrow when we replace the camshaft position sensor and the hubs and bearings.

The only relays under the hood are for the cooling fan, ABS, and the heater blower. I don't see any for lights.

When you start the car the driver side headlight flashes really fast for about 10 seconds or so then goes off.
 
A little bit ago, I took the headlight out to pull the DRL relay until I got a new relay. But since I had the headlight out, I changed the bulb and it fixed the blinking light problem.
