Headlight Switch Problems of Chevrolet Silverado

While driving the vehicle during nighttime hours the dashlights and navigation screen will turn to daylight mode which then makes the truck headlights turn off (when in auto mod) and the navigation screen is too bright and distracts you when driving. The dash lights and navigation screen will randomly switch between daytime and night time mode when driving.

- the contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado. While traveling 45 mph the vehicle went over a bump, which caused the vehicle's headlights to turn off. He tried to turn the headlights back on, but they wouldn't power back on. He turned on the high beams and they would work, the problem was with the low beams. The following day he took the vehicle apart and he found that the wire that feeds the multi function switch and the combination switch had melted due to a t wilt function in the insulation and had turned black, which was due to high heat. It could have caught on fire. He did the repair job himself, but he believes that it could cause a fire on another vehicle and that it should be recalled. The current and failure mileage was 131,000.

2005 Chevrolet Silverado hd 2500. Driving head lights automatically came on by themselves. Vehicle was shut off at 7:00 pm, received a phone call at 3:00 am that the head lights were on. Vehicle had not been moved or started since it had been parked at 7:00 pm. Could not get the lights to shut off. Restarted vehicle and shut off vehicle and lights still wouldn't shut off. The head lights were on but no tail lights. Turned automatic head light switch o off, nothing happened. It took about 5 times of doing this before they finally shut off. It seems like it maybe a faulty switch.

When driving 70mph turned on headlight switch in fog light position, and put switch back on, automatic headlight position failed. All lights on instrument panel failed except clock and gauge lever. Automatic headlight switch suppose to stay illuminated while vehicle is running. Took to dealer, and dealer could not duplicate problem. Also auto lighting system control panel switch is extremely hot.

Vehicle is equipped with daytime running lamps. Headlights work off light sensor that automatically switches between day light running lights and head lights. No way to deactivate this feature. Once headlights come on with the "auto" feature, there is no way to shut them off without turning off ignition. Headlights go on/off during daytime if you are in shade of buildings or trees. Annoys other drivers who think you are "flashing" headlights at them. In addition, in some circumstances where you may need to turn off head lamps (at a boat ramp for example) to keep from bothering others, there is no way to shut off head lamps without turning off ignition.
