Daytime running lights

Last week I tried to turn off my DRL but they wouldn't turn off, in the past I had done it and now for some reason ...no go...!
I even got the manual out and followed it step by step....
The last time I did it ..it worked just like in the manual ...including the dash light and the chime.
Its a Canadian vehicle and I do want to keep them working, it bothers me that I have used this feature in the past and just can't figure out what has changed.


I have a set of factory fog lights that should be arriving ...."tomorrow" so if its a BMC problem maybe I can get the fogs enabled while they are checking the DRL problem..
The vehicle is only under warranty for a couple more months so I would really like the dealer to fix it instead of me...!!

Any ideas..???

For canadian models, you can only turn off the DRL when parked. As soon as you put it in gear, the lights will go on again.

Thanks,
That's what I was trying to do, turn them off when I'm parked.
It has worked in the past and I'm stumped as to what has changed..

On our Chev Venture if you set the parking brake the DRLs stay off when you start the car.
Very handy at the drive in. For some reason people get cranky when you blast the lights at them when the windows are foggy.
