1999 Chevrolet 4X4 2 door Tahoe, corrosion and shorting of pin connections in high/low beam headlight dimmer switch. On going problem for 3 mo. Of headlight failure when operating at night. Found switch on steering assembly to have corrosion and indication of wires overheating due to excess heat. Turned on headlights and move connector wires at switch, headlights failed. Headlights also fail when steering column is tilted. Problem is due to poor contact of pin connections at switch due to corrotion in connection possible poor construction of connector. Arcing can be heard when connection on switch is moved. This is a very well maintained vehicle driven by my wife. I am a federal government employee with 30 years experince in automotive and equipment inspection, repair and rebuild with extensive knowledge in diognostics and use of tmde.
