1996 Tahoe headlight failure. When flipping the switch to turn o headlights they do not turn on. Spent almost $200 in diagnostic time. The repair shop says the wiring in the steering column is fatigued and frayed most likely due to repeated adjustments with the tilt steering wheel. Very expensive to repair. Using middle position with daytime running lights until I can get it repaired. This is a serious safety issue as the light cut out while I was driving home in the dark. Good thing the drl work.
