2006 Pontiac Grand Prix low beam headlight failed during night time driving, almost caused a crash. Took vehicle to dealer and problem was failure of the low beam headlight relay. Have seen this same failure many times in the past on the same make and year car. Vehicle has only 40,000 miles. Old parts not available.

Low beams shut off randomly while driving and won't come back on, even if you try to turn them on manually. The high beams will work and the fog lights work. It seams to happen alot when it is raining, and when it is warm outside. Doesn't seem to happen as much when it is cold. Have replaced the multifunction switch and checked the grounds associated with the lights. Have also checked relays, fuses. Am currently checking wire connections and tracing down wires from power source thru to all areas associated with lights. After that, the last stop is the vehicle body control module. Is getting to be very expensive and time consuming. The safety hazard, in my opinion is huge due to the fact that you can't turn on manually when they go out.

The contact owns a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix. The contact stated that he had headlights and a blue tooth installed in the vehicle. When he removed the key from the ignition, the stereo made a loud popping noise that could be heard through the speakers. Whenever it pops, the contact experiences electrical failures and the clock, instrument panel gauges, and the stereo would reset. Oftentimes, the head and tail lights will dim while driving at night. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. The tail lights have blown on the vehicle at least nine times. The windshield was blurry, which resembled driving under the influence and prevented clear visibility. The windshield was replaced under warranty. The manufacturer instructed him to take the vehicle to the nearest dealer. The contact stated that he had already been to the dealer a minimum of nine times and the failures could never be duplicated. Thus far, the battery and dashboard have been replaced. The molding for the driver's side window has been replaced as well; however, the failures persist. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 6,000 and current mileage was 27,000.

I'm seeing a lot of cars on the highway running with headlights on but no tail lights on. I'm assuming this is due to the "day time running lights" on various cars. Either they are defective or the operators have the daytime running lights on and they think the regular lights are on. This is surely causing accidents and should be investigated.
