DRL on an '05 Dynasty?

I have one at work with the customer saying sometimes his headlights come on when he doesn't have the switch on. Naturally I suspect it has DRL and they should be on all the time. I found a DRL fuse in one of the small black boxes in the left front bay but I have yet to locate a DRL relay. I did however find a loose relay with an eyelet hanging from one of the studs that secure the big black cover. It has what seems to me a strange wiring setup.

Pin 85 has a wire labeled dim lights.
Pin 86 has a wire labeled ground. I verified it is indeed grounded. These are the two wires that generally actuate the relay.

Pin 30 has a wire labeled fog light power
Pin 87A has a wire labeled driving lights
Pin 87 has a wire labeled fog lights.

I have no schematic to try and sort all this out. I jumped from a 12v source with a fused jumper to pin 85 and brought on the dim lights. I jumped to pin 87 and brought on the fog lights. I jumped to pin 87A and blew my 15A fuse.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Ray,
The DLR in the Dynasty has created some problems with heat overload in the run bay under the driver side. I will attach a schematic that DrNitros came up with that solves the overheat problem. I am guessing that the previous owner may have tried to disable the DLR's to avoid the problem. Take a look at this pdf.file and see if it makes sense to you. I have also included a thumbnail of the overheat caused by the wiring of the DLR's.

Our '06 Dynasty has what they call a "Canadian Headlight Module", which is in a pewter colored cast housing a little larger than a cigarette package, that is mounted on the ceiling of the front run box. On ours, it works in conjunction with the Smartwheel controller, and is responsible for the control logic that establishes the daytime running headlights function.

If yours has this, you might want to know about it, as for our coach it is a primary player in the operation you are describing.
