2006 Pontiac Grand Prix - Low beams work, but you need to turn them on manually. The function on the light switch that says "auto" no longer turns the low beams on. Just parking lights go on. When you turn the car off, the lights use to stay on for a while, now everything goes dark.

My info says, auto, is like drl. There a light sensor. I can't guarantee the light sensor is faulty? Your headlamp switch on and hi/lo beams are input to the bcm. The light sensor is input to the bcm. You have hi and lo beam relays, the bcm ground control side of relay based on inputs from light switch and light sensor.
I don't know if this is any help or not? If you want a wiring diagram, I'll try to post it?

Sounds like you need a new multi function switch.

SOURCE: i have a 2007 pontiac

Good Evening, I have an odd question because I have seen this once before........ Have you checked the low beams themselves, like take out the bulb and look at the filament? The other thing would be to check for power to the plug in when you unplug the bulb get a test light and hook one end to (-) and the light one to the wire if it doesn't light try the other wire. If it lights do the reverse and hook one end to (+) and then the light end to the other wire you didn't test and see if it lights up. If it lights up on both wires your bulb is bad. I have seen headlamp switches go bad and headlamp assemblies as well. However by far I would check for power out at the bulb plug in and check the bulbs. Hope this helps and if you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

It appears to me that the timer in the headlamp switch is faulty. Remove the switch to check the power to the headlamps

SOURCE: the low beams of my

mdsarnes, The first thing that I would check is the fuse for the low beams located in the engine compartment power distribution box. (Fuse box) GM does have a legend written right on the cover so you know which fuse to check. Also, when the low beams are on try and wiggle the connectors to each bulb. If these dont work, replace one bulb and see if it works. If it does then take the same bulb and try it on the other side. If you have a test light then you can test for power at the plugs before you purchase any bulbs. Good luck with this.

Low beam does not work 2006 pontiac gran prix

Joe, It is very likely your LOW BEAM RELAY, they are ONLY $40 Auto Zone or other parts stores. I would have wasted almost a $1000 on parts and labor if my car was not under warranty for all the labor and parts GM certified mechanics wasted replacing a computer brain and the switch on left side of steering wheel. The switch they tried to make me pay for on my second attempt to fix it but but I freaked out on them. My low beams would just go out at any time, very dangerous. This is part # info you need when you go to parts store. You need GM part # 15016745 a.k.a R6100 Mine just says R6100 on the parts box. Look at your manual for its location in fuse box under the hood. It is so simple to replace, a 4 year old could do it. There is reference made on the net by some that Parts stores may tell you the part is a blower relay but ignore that, its for the low beam. Visit this post first to make sure this makes sense to you ok. if the link does not work search "07 grand prix low beam headlights shut off intermittently?" and you will find the forum with at least 20 people who have had this issue. All 06-08 grand prix's should be recalled

2007 pontiac grand prix headlights are not working correctly. High beams work but not low beam. nothing works on automatic. Low beam bulbs have been replaced. Lights worked for one day, then back to not...

I drive a 07 Grand Prix and the low beams randomly went out. Could not get them to come back on, but all of the other lights worked (inside, parking, and high beams). found a forum online that recommended replacing the fuse/thing at location #35 in the fuse box under the hood. It worked immediately!! Got the part at Advanced Auto parts for $35 dollars.

I have 2006 grand prix and the bright lights wont come on. I move the blinker lever forward and the low beams stay on but i get the blue bright light on the dash, checked fuses all seem to be okay

do you hear the click of the dimmer switch when you move the lever if you do then the steel rod that goes from the lever to the switch itself is working and the switch is moving from the low beam to high beam circuit.if the blue dash indicator is on them power is coming out of the switch to the dash to operate the light.its possible that the dimmer switch may need to be adjusted a little if you don`t hear the click but moves enough to put the dash light on but not enough to turn the high beams on,that is possibly why the low lights stay on.or you have a bad dimmer switch itself
