What happen is the DRL warning light came on, unlike what happened before, the bulb and the fuse is perfectly OK. I expect the DRL switch most likely gone bad but I checked the price of replacing it and it doesn't worth it since it is a 94' Honda Accord.

My question is where is this switch located? TIA

Here is how to fix your DRL module (I did one on my 1992 and a friends 1994 Honda Accord).

Note: You should be able to get the DRL off without taking off any of your dash (1992) or a little bit of the dash (1994). You will have to get right down where your gas/brakes are and work upwards under the dash to see what you are after. I was pretty much upside down when working on mine.

does the warning come off when you disengage the handbrake, if so, that's normal. if the warning stays on, that's still normal; but you're actual daytime running lights are off. some say it's illegal, i say it's not, b/c mine are out too. but my night lights work.

My guess is that your high beam filaments are burnt out. That's what happened to me when I bought some cheap bulbs at the Pacific Mall. Not a problem because I drive with all my lights on all the time, just like Jim Kenzie suggests.
It's not illegal to drive with the DRL light on since your car does have the DRL module.

no problem with soldering but just not handy enough to take off the dash. Thanks anyway.

No, nothing wrong with the high beam filaments.

yup, either repair it as described in that website or pay a dealer to replace/repair it

drl relays are fairly common failures for that car

if you're small enough... no need to remove dash panel

i did it last week without removing the dash panel... but gives you a lot less space to work with

Mine is ON, but will off if I turn the night light on;
And it is not always on, sometimes it is off normally.

Mine is 2001 honda accord

Any suggestions? thanks

I had this problem as well. I removed the DRL module and re-soldered the cracked solder joints on the relay. No problems since. Honda wanted $150 for a new module.
You can get to it without taking your dash apart but it is a bit awkward to stick your head under there.
