Headlights, tailights and dash lights won't work on my XR6. Headlights work on auto mode but not normal mode. Any ideas?

Turning the light switch onto normal light mode gets me headlights and high beam works normally but no tail lights or dash lights. Is it likely to be a fuse fault, the indicator switch or a glitch in the wiring. .Wondering if I can fix it myself or if it's gonna cost me an arm and a leg?

check and see if the dimmer switch is working, it's most likely stuck. it might also be the headlight relay.

The main/high beam relay/switch must be stuck on high presuming the high beam stalk selector does not operate. Probably needs replacement.

Sir,
You are suggested to check the fuses of your car this problem usually ocurs because fuse gets fused or say damaged. therefore you can buy new one and replace them with new one's

SOURCE: 1995 chevy suburban headlights won't come on

Common for the wire harness on the switch to go bad. Inspect the wire harness where it clips on to the switch and look for any signs of damage.

The plastic heats up from the current running through the switch and causes it to melt and then you loose connection caused from melted plastic between the contacts from the harness to the switch.

There is a upgrade to the headlight harness which is larger then the ones that came with the Suburban to address this issues. You can get them at the dealer or NAPA i believe.

Good luck and keep us posted. Thank you for using fixya and stay safe.

Testimonial: "I replaced the turn signal switch which solved the problem. It was that. The headlight wires had melted at the connector. The pain is the new turn signal switch has a malfunctioning wiper component causing the wiper delay to turn on with out being on. Now I have to do it all over. "

I cant turn off the headlights off while my 03 GMC Sierra Z71 is running, the manual switch does nothing unless the truck is turned off.

I have a 2003 GMC Sierra Z71 Extended Cab and the headlight switch won't turn off the headlights while the truck is running. When I got the truck the Photocell Sensor which is the black bubble that sits on the dash that tells the daytime running lights to turn off and on was down in the dash so I fished it out with my fingers and clipped it back in and it made the daytime running lights work. I still can't turn my headlights off while my truck is running though. The owner's manual says that I am able to do so. There's 2 light's on the switch by AUTO and the O for off that should light up? Is it my whole switch?

How do i replace light bubs on the dash panel and door button, do i pull the button up or what to replace the light bubs.

These bulbs last a long time and if they'er all out you might find the running lights ( taillights arn't working too. ( blown fuse) the panel lights are on a separte fuse but they run off of the tailight fuse. the tailights are really all the lights that come on with the headlight switch except the headlights themselfs. Then that circuit entergizes the panel lights thea light the dash gauges the door panels switches the any console lights the car can have. the dome circuit is another fuse that lights the floor and dome ( if their is one) and any landou lights (piller)
sometimes this fuse is removed or blow and the dash lights don't work, Or sometimes just a few. The cluster can be removed but not all of the bulbs can be bought at the parts store as the lights are to be replaced by rebuilding the cluster and can't be serviced. Agin some of the door switches are made this way also and you have to replace the switch to get a good light in them.

What started this mess? tailights, fog lights, brake lights....

The relay has nothing to do with the tail lights, but replacing the switch sounds like a good idea. There's a nut holding it in place, see http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/electrics/switches/switch-headlight/1027524/ to get an idea of the construction. And the price. This is not worth fiddling about unreliable workarounds...
In addition, if fuses 15 and/or 16 burn frequently there might be a problem with the tail light cabling.

Good luck
