There is a small metal the grabs the bulb connection in place. If it is worn out the bulb becomes loose with vibration. Have it checked and replaced in auto parts store.

What could cause the brake-lights on a 1990 Volvo to work with the headlights off but not to work when the headlights are turned on?

They are either the wrong bulbs or one of the filaments is burned out. The bulbs should have two filaments. One is illuminated when the lights are on. The other is brighter when the brakes are used.


What would cause on a 98 Tahoe the headlights don't work but there is power out of the back of the switch and the DRL's work?

It could be the bulb, sometimes they do that. Make sure the emergency brake pedal is retracted all the way up. When the Ebrake is on the headlights on tahoes go off. Answer: If the DRL's are working, then it isn't bulbs. Not being funny, but make sure you have the light switched turned on. You'll know it's on when the dash lights up.

1997 Chevy Blazer The headlights are not coming on All other lights are working what could be the trouble?

Sounds like the switch is bad. You can buy a replacement switch at any automotive parts store and they are not that hard to install. Also check the fuse as sometimes the headlights have their own fuse while the parking/brake/back-up lights have their own.
