Brights work when on auto. All interior lights work. Lights will not come on in daytime but work fine when gets dark. Also DRL relay is getting very hot. Plan to replace tomorrow.

Hello,

It sounds like the BCM is going out. To be sure there are 4 relays and a hand full of fuses that run the system lets check those first. here are two guides to help with the headlight wiring diagrams below so you can see how the system works and which fuses and relays to test and their locations as well:

and

Here are the BCM replacement instructions just in case. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
