You need to check the wires at the plug for the multifunction switch(dimmer). The wires like to break and get pulled loose at the plug. You will need to remove the trim around the steering column to access.
The dim lights on a 1994 Grand Prix could go out when the headlamp switch is on if there is a short in the wiring for the headlights. There could also be a problem with the bulbs themselves if they were touched during installation. The oils in the fingers can short out new headlights.
Check your light bults and connections, Check the ground. Get a volt tester and check for proper power. exc.
Sometimes the ground strap to the body of the car can come loose. This will cause things to flicker. Ground from the battery needs to be connected to the engine block, the frame, and the body to keep things working properly.
Yes you will need a headlight replacement even if it is only the brights that aren't working. There are times when you need your bright lights so don't delay in getting a replacement.
If you checked the switch, fuse and bulbs the only thing it could be is a open ground. Find the ground wire on the bulb socket and check for continuity. With a tester put one wire one the ground at the socket and the other on the neg. battery terminal
i know this will sound silly but first make sure the headlights themselves are not blown.you would be surprised how many Kia's come into my shop with headlights not working and all the headlights are blown. after that get a volt meter and disconnect the light and test to see if you have power , remember the dimmer switches are famous for cold solder joints and will also cause this problem.
have you checked the fuse? is the dimmer switch turned down? have they just quit working? Headlights/taillights work? Interior light? Need more info!! What have you checked so far?
Headlights not working
I just had the same problem in my '97 Nissan pickup. Both headlights stopped working at the same time. I went through some hoops, including trying a new headlight switch, but it turned out to be some corrosion in the plug for the fusible link that bolts onto the positive terminal of the battery. I cleaned that out and it is working fine again.
I own a 2005 jeep Cherokee my headlights on the passenger side is not working changed the bulbs & they are still not working.
