Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ok, I did some research on here and I've got a head light issue. 3 of the 4 fogs work but the headlights won't come on. The highbeams work, but only if I press the lever forward. Am I looking at bulb replacement or something more serious? It sucked driving in to work today only on the first position (switch) foglights. So, position one, both small round foglights work. position two, the second 'foglight' comes on on the driver's side, but the passenger side one doesn't. Press lever forward, and highbeams work. Pull lever back to 'keep them on' and they don't. Any help appreciated.
thanks,
Pete
my car had this symptoms brfore the swich replaced a few days ago-----headlights no working, air conditioning no working, could not used remote to lock the door. so, my bet is your cars' switch going bad.
Sounds like a switch replacement is needed. What do you mean by second fog light? Do you mean the marker lights inside the headlight housing with the main headlight? If so, those are really more for show than to put light down on the road.
fuses checked out. took out the driver side unit and the bulbs looked ok. how do i change the switch? i took the little oval plastic piece off and the two torques screws but i don't want to force it off. anything i missed?
Ok, when we say headlight switch, do we mean the metal and red cylindrical object, or the round black piece with the green curcuit board behind it that has the "light position symbols" on it??
thanks,
pete
uh oh. i didn't know i needed to disconnect the battery to change the switch. i've already taken it out. should i go disconnect the battery before putting the new one in?
It sounds like we are talking about two different switches here. One the Headlight switch, the other the Ignition switch. When the ign switch starts to go bad strange seemingly unrelated things start to happen. Key is hard to get out of the ign. Car will not turn off\start. AC stops working etc... When the light switch starts to go bad it is usually isolated to the lights. Both switches have some history of wearing out.
