1 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2019

I believe my vehicle may have a faulty headlight/signaling switch. Whenever I am driving it will randomly switch between the modes of drl, headlights or just off completely. Another issue I have more often then not is when I am trying to signal the blinkers will not turn on at all, and when they do its about 30sec to a minute after I initially moved the switch myself. All this happens while the car is in motion, lastly their have been three occasions where I have turned my car off completely and then came back hours later to find that the drl lights had turned on on their own, 1 out of the 3 times so far this issue has drained my battery. I feel like this might be a issue with the wiring inside the switch.

2 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2017

Put blinker on for right hand turn, made the turn, when the blinder stalk (which also contains headlight controls) returned to home position, the headlights went out, and the instrument panel indicated my lights had switched off. My light knob remained in auto, with the computer thought I turned them off. This was at night. I could not see when my lights turned off. It is very unsafe to be in motion and have your lights cut out!!! this problem happens frequently now, getting worse. It's obviously a bad connection within the blinker stalk, causing the light mode to change on its own when turning.
