Both daytime running lights on my 2015 CX5 stopped working this week. I changed the fuse, but that didn’t help (the original fuse was still good). I saw there is a recall of the 2016 CX5 due to a similar sounding problem. I have not gone to the dealership yet. Anyone else having an issue with their 2015 DRLs?

Inspect both high beam bulbs (switch on the high beams), if one of the bulbs is burned out, the daytime running lights won’t operate.

I agree with Nevada. Had that very same issue with a vehicle and it was an unrelated bulb that was causing the difficulty. (remember never to handle the replacement bulb with bare hands).
