On my 02 C4S, it'll sometimes take 3 or 4 turns of the dash headlamp switch to get the lights to turn on.

Anyone experience anything similar? Likely an issue with the switch itself or is there a common issue with the lights themselves that I need to be aware of?

And...how easy a job to replace the switch if that's necessary?

Thanks all.

 

sounds like a headlight switch

replacement is

pull the **** and press the release under with a small screw driver or pick
remove 3 t20 torx screws
remove vent assy
un plug switch
remove 1 19mm nut holding swith on
tun 1/16 turn and remove switch

install is oppisitie

 

Try removing your headlights and cleaning the contacts where the headlights plug in. The owner's manual describes how to do it.

 

This happened to me man. I have a 03 Cab and I had to have the dealership replace some switch. My car is under warranty,if yours is they cover it

 

I've got the same problem. Sometimes I can't get them on at all, so I run with parking and fog lights. I'm due for a 15k inspection and am still covered with warranty so I'll let the dealer take care of of it. Figured it was a switch.

 

Thanks all. Switch is $101.50 at Auto Parts Haus (Rennlist sponsor)...seems like a simple enough exercise to tackle, once the playoffs are over.
