LOW HEADLIGHTS (BOTH) ARE OFF CONTINUUALLY. HIGH BEAMS ARE OK, NO MATTER WHICH POSITION DASH HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS IN. HIGH BEAMS COME ON WITH STEERING COLUMN CONTROL, BUT NOT LOW BEAMS. REPLACED RELAYS AND FUSES ALTHOUGH ORIGINALS CHECKED OK.. REMOVED EACH HEADLIGHT NACELL ASSEMBLY AND CHECKED EACH LIGHT INDIVIDUALLY WITH SEPARATE SOURCE 12V. ALL OK. METER CHECKED HI-LO HEADLIGHT PLUG, 12V OK ON HI WIRES, NO VOLTAGE ON LO WIRES. PROBLEM EXIST WHETHER CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT. I AM STUMPED!

HEADLIGHT FAIL - THEY INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING AND EVENTUALLY TURN BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS VERY OFTEN AND I AM VERY AFRAID OF MY SAFETY AND ALSO OF MY FAMILY.

I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND PULLED SOME OF THE FUSES AND PUT THEM BACK IN. THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON LATER. WE CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD TO OUR DESTINATION AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO GET A HOTEL ROOM FOR THE NIGHT UNTIL WE COULD DRIVE HOME DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER DARK. AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, MY HEADLIGHTS JUST COMPLETELY WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER CAREFULLY PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I REALIZED MY HIGH BEAMS WERE STILL WORKING. I LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE AND REALIZED IT WAS A RELAY 45 AND 46 ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY I REPLACED THIS RELAY AND MY LIGHTS WORKED. FOR A DAY. NOW IT'S BEEN ALMOST A MONTH, AND I CAN'T DRIVE AFTER DARK. I'VE ASKED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THIS AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL BUT YET THEY DON'T HAVE A RESOLUTION. BEING I WORK UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN, AND I HAVE AN HOUR DRIVE HOME FROM WORK 5-6 DAYS A WEEK, THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME. IF THIS WERE A SIMPLE WINDOW SWITCH RECALL (WHICH I'VE ALREADY HAD REPLACED) I WOULD BE OK WITH IT FOR NOW. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A LIGHTING ISSUE WHICH CAN BE AND IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED IMMIDIATLY AND IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD BE EXPECTED TO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A WEDDING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH, AND MY HEADLAMPS FAILED. EVERYTHING WENT COMPLETELY DARK. AFTER A PANIC, I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON MY HIGH BEAMS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR SAFETY, BLINDING ONCOMING DRIVERS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TESTED MY FOG LIGHTS, AND THEY WORKED PROPERLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WORKED THEN. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, I HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 10-15 OTHER INCIDENTS OF THE SAME OCCURRENCE. I WAS POSITIVE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL, BUT WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, I WAS ADVISED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, SINCE THE ISSUE ON THE RECALL IS EXACTLY THE ISSUE THAT I AM DEALING WITH. I HAVE HAD TO LIMIT MY USE OF THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT FOR FEAR THAT THE HEADLAMPS WILL FAIL. SIDE NOTE - THEY HAVE FAILED AT NIGHT TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE. GENERALLY WHAT I HAVE TO DO IS PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (SCARY) AND TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT, AND TRY THEM AGAIN. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE HEAD LAMPS WOULD JUST GO OFF. I WOULD STILL HAVE HIGH BEAMS HOWEVER THE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AND THEN COME BACK ON. THEY WERE CHECKED AND NO LOOSE CONNECTIONS WERE FOUND BUT THEY WOULD ALWAYS COME BACK ON. FAST FORWARD TO ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I WAS DRIVING HOME IN THE DARK AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF BUT THIS TIME THEY DID NOT COME BACK ON. THEY HAVE BEEN OUT AND HAVE NOT COME BACK ON SINCE. I STILL HAVE HIGH BEAMS BUT NO LOW BEAMS. THANK YOU *TR

GENERAL SAFETY COMPLAINT ABOUT SEVERAL MAKES OF VEHICLES. MANY VEHICLES USE THEIR HEADLIGHTS AS RUNNING LIGHTS AND THEY COME ON AUTOMATICALLY. DRIVERS, IN SEEING THEIR HEADLIGHTS ON, DO NOT REALIZE THAT THEIR TAILLIGHTS ARE NOT ON AND DRIVE WITH NO TAILLIGHTS. I FIRST NOTICED THIS IN A DRIVING RAINSTORM WHEN I SUDDENLY CAME UP ON A CAR WITH NO TAILLIGHTS. THROUGH THE SPRAY THAT HE WAS KICKING UP AND THE DRIVING RAIN, IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE HIM. THIS ALERTED ME TO THE FACT AND I STARTED LOOKING. APPROXIMATELY 25% OF THE NEWER VEHICLES HAD HEADLIGHTS ON BUT NO TAILLIGHTS. I RECENTLY RENTED A CHEVROLET BLAZER . I LEFT MY HOTEL IN THE DARK WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON. IT WASN'T UNTIL I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND WENT TO TURN OFF MY HEADLIGHTS THAT I DISCOVERED I HAD NOT TURNED THEM ON. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT HEADLIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE OPERATED WITHOUT TAILLIGHTS BEING ON . *NM
