What is the Headlamp Dimmer Switch all about?

The headlamp dimmer switch may be part of the turn signal switch or it can be mounted on the floor. This switch enables you to dim the headlamp beam from low to high or vice versa. A bad switch will not change the headlamp beam. Your headlamps being stuck on high beams can create a dangerous situation for oncoming drivers.

Keep in mind:

In many vehicles, the dimmer switch is part of a multi-switch that also controls the windshield wipers, turn signals, and cruise control. *Replacing this multi-switch means all of those components will need to be re-wired.

How it's done:

Inspect the switch.
Remove and replace the faulty switch.
Check operation of the headlamps and verify the high/low beam switching.

Our recommendation:

It should be noticeable when your headlamp dimmer switch stops working. If you find that your vehicle is unable to alternate between high and low beams, then you should schedule a service.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Headlamp Dimmer Switch?

Lights will not change between high and low beams. They will be stuck on one or the other.
Headlamps will not stay on high-beam setting.

How important is this service?

The headlamp dimmer switch allows you to select between your headlamp's high and low beams. When you pull the lever on your steering wheel column, the dimmer switch triggers the high beams, and either turns them on or turns them off. When the headlamp dimmer switch malfunctions, your headlights won’t be able to switch between high and low. You’ll either be stuck with only low beams, which can mean poor visibility, or you’ll be stuck with only high beams, which is hazardous to the drivers around you.

Oldsmobile Achieva L4-2.4L - Inspection / Diagnostics - San Antonio, Texas

I never called for a mobile mechanic before until I found this website, was rather skeptical at first but because my car couldn't drive at all I became desperate. My mechanic Manuel arrived a bit early unexpectedly, which is good, and he knew the problem with no hassel along with the recommended parts I would need to fix my car. Because of him I can fully trust in YourMechanic.com to find out what is wrong with my car and knowing how to fix it at a fair price, and never feel uncomfortable with their mechanics ever again.

WE took our car into Lythia Dodge here in Bryan Texas last week to have the oil changed and also found that we had a leak on the floor of the garage. I told the Lythia people about it and they said they would look into it. They called and said that they could not find a leak. So we took a picture of the leak on the floor of the garage. I sent it to the agent and he said they would check again. After further inspection they found oil cooler leak in valley-replaced oil cooler. This repair cost me $830.00. This was done on Jan 21th. This first time we filled up the car on the 2nd. We only have 40 miles on the car since we had it fixed. We did make some simple trips at lease 2, since having the work done. Maybe a total of 6 miles Today we got in the car to go to church and it started dumping tons of gas on the floor of the garage. The whole house smells like gasoline. The car will now not stay running.
