Default Electrical help

Having some issues. 05 monte. What I notice, turn signal hazzard switch buzzes with no lights or flashing. And the airbag light is on. It will stay that way until I drive a couple miles, at which time the gauges go off, and on quickly, and everything works fine. I tested the fuses when it is malfunctioning and they have 6 volts. If I put a 12volt wire on them, the airbag light goes away, and blinkers work fine. This is in the fuse box, inside, drivers side. Other fuses in that box have 12 volts. Anyone have any thoughts for me? I would take a look inside the fuse box but cant find out how to remove to access the wires.

Something is causing a large drain on that fuse block. Anything aftermarket in the car? Perhaps something is charging up and messing with that circuit to the fuse box.

nothing aftermarket. Very puzzling. My only other thought is to find a good wire and hook up to those slots with inline fuses.

Default DRL wiring change

So I have a crazy idea and I have been searching for a way to convert the DRL from the headlights to the fog lights.

Is this possible and still be able to use the fog lights at night??
It would definitely make the monte stand out from the rest.😁

I suggest you start a new thread as this is not related to this topic.
