The headlights only work on Bright. The dim

The headlights only work on Bright. The dim lights are not working in my 2005 Buick La Crosse. I have been searching for a solution and your solution that it is a "wiring problem" is too broad a category since the Dealer can't find the problem either. It only happens at Night and works fine in the Daytime.

If the low beam head light relay is fine,and the dimmer switch checks out fine,then look at the out put wire from the dimmer switch to the head light relay,check for voltage,then check the relay to see if it energizes.Then follow the wire(out put)from the relay to the head light.Now if power from the dimmer is getting to the relay,but the relay is not energizing,look for a bad relay,or bad relay ground wire.

No dim headlights

Check low beam bulbs for being burned out. Maybe one burned out and was not noticed until the second was burned out.

Headlights

I doubt it, but its possible.
If the alternator is working and the battery stays charged, I would check the voltage at the lights, as well as the ground connection.

2005 buick lacrosse cxl... dash lights and interior lights are going dim to bring to dim to bright very rapidly

First, check that the battery connections are clean and not corroded. If not look for the ground wires that connect to the chassis. Check to see if any are corroded or loose. Finally if that has no effect, you have a short somewhere in your wiring. The easy way to isolate it is to pull the fuses for each device one by one and see if the dimming stops. The last one to cause the dimming is the problem. If it happens when you hit a bump it also might be a ground fault in the interior car grounds....good luck!
