So , coming home from the Mid Ohio Superbike races this past weekend , we're running about 85 in the fast lane when a Semi signaled to get over in front of me to pass a slow mover. Well , I flashed my brights at him to let him over , and as soon as I did , it killed my headlights. There I was in the dark with no lights , not even parking lights. So I switched it down to bypass the auto sensor , and back into manual lighting and they came back on. For about 10 minutes that is , and then they went out again with no warning. So , I switched it back down into " auto " for my lights and they came back on !?!? I played the light switching game for the next 230 miles , ran into all sorts of combinations I had to switch to in order to get the lights to come on, at times all I would have on were brights , nothing else , just brights. Took it in to the dealer the next day and after 2 days of tracking down the problem they called to tell me they've ordered a new light switch assembly. I hope they're right and not just guessing!

Anybody else ever experience this ? It's a 2006 Cobalt LS

 

Wow that's weird. Maybe your car is playing tricks on you....who knows maybe your car is haunted. It is getting close to halloween you know.

 

It might be , I just got a call from my car and it told me that you needed to get a refund from Bergen CC, evidently you're wasting money.

;-)

 

wow thats some weird ****...

 

lol thats funny

 

update:
They called me on Friday to tell me my car was ready. I went in , dropped off the loaner truck and picked my cobalt up. Off I go , went 3 blocks down , turned on the headlights via manual over-ride of auto lighting , flashed my brights and out they went. Turned right around , took it straight back and asked to speak to a manager. He came out , check it for himself , handed me the keys to another loaner , this time it's a 2004 Chevy Malibu Maxx , and now my car still sits in the shop.

They replaced the light switch unit, it didn't fix it , so now they're replacing the control module.

hmmmmm, stabbing in the dark are we ?

 

So they didn't even test their fix? Just said it was done and called it a day. Good stuff.
