2005 GMC Envoy headlight problem by angelj

I have a 2005 GMC Envoy and my headlights have quit working, well at least the low beams (both sides at the same time). I have checked the fuses and the bulbs and both are fine. What else can I check before giving up and landing at the mercy of a local auto shop? I am not exactly a mechanical girl, so feel free to speak in short words.

2004 Envoy SLT Headlight Problem by amyjones929

I have a 2004 Envoy SLT and have recently been experiencing a problem with the automatic headlights. They will not turn on even when it is completely dark. If we turn the car off and let it sit for an amount of time they will come on when we restart it. Does anyone know why this is happening or have any ideas on how to fix it? We are the second owners and have already had to replace the control panel module because it was causing the instrument panel to go crazy, lights blinking, guages not working, etc. The Fog lights work, and the high beams work when the knob is turned to "on", but not on automatic. It's almost like the sensor is not sensing that it is dark outside. Can anyone help?

I have a 2004 Envoy SLT and three times in the past year the headlights have gone off at night while driving. The manual switch will not turn them on. Only the emergency flashers will work. After stopping the car and waiting a few minutes will the lights work again. This can be a dangerous condition and I am hoping someone might have a fix for me. Thanks.

I have a 2004 GMC Envoy and had the same problem. What worked for me was changing the headlight fuse. No more problems. Tip: the fuse is the same one for the fan...found that out by accident, but it solved my problem. Only problem i've had since i purchased the Envoy.

1999 GMC HID Headlight Replacement by mojaveflyer

Is there a cheaper replacement for a HID headlight on a 1999 Envoy bulb rather than pay the GM replacement price? We're talking close to $1000 or more for the bulb and ballast... Can I replace the system with an after market kit? Thanks!

Thanks rrobar. I had the same problem with my 2006 Envoy, and did what you suggested - swapped the #45 relay into the #46 spot to check - and my headlights worked with the #45 to verify my #46 relay was bad. I called around and none of the major auto parts retailers had it in stock, so I had to spend about $45 at a dealer for the part.
