Fog Light Switch problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette

I was leaving my friends home this evening and my headlights wouldn't come on. My high beams and fog light work but I have no headlights. I was an hour from home and had to drive the entire way with my high beams on.

Driving down the highway and my lowbeam lights went off my highbeams and fog lights continued to work. The next day I cut my lights on they worked for a short time but went out again. This may have been over a period of time but I just noticed recently I have rode down the highway and everything looked dark and I turned my fog lights on to compensate for the darkness.

After driving home approximately 30 miles from work with the low beam headlights working, they quit working after parking for a few minutes then returning to the vehicle to drive. All other lamps work including high beams fog lights and parking lamps. The low beams will not turn on with the control switch turned on or on the auto on setting.

I was driving my 2006 Corvette at night and all of the sudden my headlights turned off, I was surprised and confused but was able to turn my high beams on, I pulled over and tested all the lights, only the low beams did not work, from there I used the fog lights instead of the high beams so not to blind other drivers and got home. I live in a suburban area of my county where there isn't much street lighting, when this happened it was very scary, luckily I didn't crash into anyone or anything. The next night I tested the lights and they came on fine, but after driving about 20-25 minutes they shut off again, used the fog lights so I could see some of the road, but visibility is low. I work at night so now I just turn the fog lights on when I start the car so when the low beams turn off I'll have some type of light. The low beams turn off every time I use the car, about 20-25 minutes into driving the car. The only night this didn't happen was when the weather was cool, I live in south florida but one night in the middle of December, the outside temperature was 59 degrees fahrenheit, I was able to drive the car about 45 minutes without the low beams turning off. I've read some cases that say the low beams turn off because of something in the fuse box overheating, I'm assuming this is why they worked on a cold night. Thanks in advance.

One evening I noticed my low beam head headlamps were not working. Fortunately, the high beams and fog lights did work. The next morning the lights did work until the car warmed up. That evening, again I had no lo beam headlamps. I searched the internet and found other Corvette owners were having this same problem. This pattern continued for about a week until I was able to stop by the dealership. The car was diagnosed and the internal fuse block had to be replaced. My service technician said this is the second Corvette he has recently seen with this problem. My incident did not result in an accident. However, losing headlamps is dangerous and if other owners are having the same issue, I hope Chevrolet will issue a recall.

The car was sitting in a parking lot while we were shopping. When we got back in the car it was dark. I began to move and realized that the automatic headlights were not on. I could not turn them on manually, both low and high beams would not turn on. The only headlights I could use were high beams when using the "flash to pass" by pulling the left hand stalk toward me. I drove home in heavy traffic with my running lights and fog lights on and used my flash to pass high beams when I could not see forward. The next morning the lights operated normally.

Low beam headlights shut off and will not turn back on. The high beams will come on, the fog lights work. Low beams will not work in auto mode, or manual. Tested dash board sensor, works correctly, changed low beam Mini relay and fuses, twice, problem remains unresolved. Can sometimes leave car parked overnight, come out and low beams are working again. Never know when they will work and when they won't. Was driving on interstate the other day and low beam headlights shut off while I was driving, was unable to see. Had to drive with high beams, other drivers on roadway were not happy about it. This is a huge safety concern. Took to dealer, low beams were working at the time and they were unable to diagnose because problem was not present when the vehicle was there.

Low beams suddenly cut out. Since then, low beams are ok when car is cold (in morning or after sitting for several hours) but then cut out again at random time after car warms up, and stay off until next time car is cold. High beams & fog lights work fine, all other lighting and functions work fine. Suspect failed connection at punch-down board inside fuse box for circuit that supplies power to low-beam relay, requiring fuse box replacement, as has been diagnosed with several other reported identical incidents in c6 model Corvettes (first introduced in 2005) that I discovered during online research. Dealer will diagnose during emergency appointment in 2 days. Could cause serious accident if lights suddenly cut out while driving at night on unlit road.
