That is because you have a bulb that is out, thus not enough current is being drawn through the flasher, thus the flashers mechanism doesn't get hot enough to cause it to flash.

If memory serves me, I think there is a blinker module, or daytime running light module that controls the blinkers....your DRL's are actually the front turn signals right?
