#24 of 29 Headlights Fixed by Vicki28713 Mar 19, 2009 (7:44 am)
I had posted previously (but I don't see my entry - so here's a recap) that my 01 sunfire headlights would flash on and off quickly about ten times every time I started my car and also when I turned off the engine. The dims and the daylamps of course would not work either - only my highbeams would come on. Well, slackerman's 6/20 comment got me to checking out my bulbs as the fuse was fine. So I purchased new bulb set and took it to the oil change guys. They charged me $5 to put in the bulbs; what a deal b/c it took two guys about 20 minutes to change them. The little plastic clips that cover that front area were "delicate" and a pain to pop out. I failed to have them wipe out the inside of my plastic headlamp cover, oh well. The bulbs worked. My daylamps came on like always. The man said that I had a gliche in my left dim light, which had went out first. Since both dim lights are on the same circuit, this caused on overload and my right dim went out a week later, like slackerman said. The high beams are on a different circuit so they were fine. Ta-da. I was expecting something more expensive to be wrong, but this was taken care of for less than $30! Cool. Replies to this message: slackerman (Mar 19, 2009 11:34 am)

#27 of 29 2004 Pontiac Sunfire. Driver's side low beam headlight doesn't work. by xxmoboxx Jun 22, 2009 (10:32 am)
My low beam headlight on the driver side stopped working so I replaced the bulb which didn't work (the original bulb looked fine) I checked my fuses, they're all fine. when I didn't have my lights on the low beam that works flashes and the car clicks as if I have my turn signal on. What might the problem be? Replies to this message: tarheeltom (Sep 29, 2009 10:23 am)

Replying to: peaches9 (May 17, 2007 3:49 pm) I work in a parts store...9 times out of 10 one head light was already burned out and no one noticed untill the other light died. Sounds like a faulty daytime running light box or relay.But I'd check all the ground connections first.

Replying to: xxmoboxx (Jun 22, 2009 10:32 am) If I understand your question, you have a headlight blinking, and are hearing a clicking sound.   This is, quite likely, an overloaded circuit breaker.   Headlight bulbs are usually protected by circuit breakers rather than by fuses. These circuit breakers reset after a brief cool-down period.   You probably need to take this car to a competent auto-electric shop and have them look at it. I'm guessing that this is a wiring problem.   Tom
