    Head lights wont come on

    My head lights use to come on like norm with the auto light. Maybe about 5 months ago i started to notice i had to hit the hi-beam switch a few times to make it come on now it wont come on at all. I wanted to know is it just the high beam switch thats gone bad? I mean i can make the high beams or the low beams come on with out holding the high beam switch with the indicator light on the dash lit up. When i let it go the head lights go out.!

    i'm guessing your car has auto-dim. probably the MF (multifunction switch, aka the hugh beam switch in the column) is bad.

      Do those light sensors go bad?? maybe its giving a false signal.
      Are they working ok with the headlight switch? just the auto thing is bad?

        The lighst are not workin with teh headlight switch at all either. The only way they come on is if i hold the high beam selector switch while i drive. if i let it go the lights go out all of them. Im on my way to the yard this morning

          Thanks alot for ur help guys.. It was the multifuction switch. One of teh terminals on the switchhad burnt out. I had a short in my lighting system a while ago and i think that may have created that terminal to burn out. My lights are work like normal again. GMN man i dont know what i would do with out the site sometimes..
