2001 Impala. Pressed unlock on vehicle remote at 4:30 am. The headlights were supposed to come on and did not. I tried the headlight switch, and still no headlights. Two days later, the headlights came on momentarily, then went out. The headlights haven't worked since. I talked to a mechanic that agreed that the multifunction switch has gone bad and needs replacement. He has replace quite a few.

Headlights went off for several seconds, at night, and came back on working the dimmer level. Thank god we were not in heavy interstate traffic. No manufacture should be allow design headlight circuits that can malfunction through faulty switches. Why were the allowed to defer from the old way going straight from battery? my repair source indicates this is not an new problem. I understand there could be problems with the wiring plugs overheating, since there is a "jumper "supplied with replacement. Five day order replacement.original owner
