Why would the headlight quit working but the markerlights and tail lights still work on a 1992 Cadillac DeVille?

Answer 1

I filled out the wrong form..LOL The only thing that i can think of is...a dimmer switch..the headlight switch itself..OR the BULBS.See if you can go to high or low beam ..with your lights ON..if you can i'd say dimmer switch..pull the wires off these switches use a jumper wire or touch them together this will tell you something.I have a few 79 Cadillac's my son was "using"one.. headlight's went out.. EVERYTHING else was working I got excited!! took it to BARNES/RHODES @ Main /Broad ST in Chattanooga TN..(they have CHANGED their name)They took my sentinal out (lights come on @ dusk or tunnels etc) claiming that was the problem..LOTS of money..when they finished..i did'nt have dash lights..didn't know until LATER..took it back they said that was another problem.I STILL feel like KICKING MY OWN A.. for giving up that kind of money for all it was a DIMMER SWITH.. the car did the SAME thing later all it was the DIMMER SWITCH... And check and make sure the connections @ the dimmer switch is ok. GOOD LUCK try and save ...if you can't don't let no mechanic TRICK you. PEACE IN THE USA PRAY for the TROOPS and let those people help DEFEND themselves...use some of that OIL MONEY to support the TROOPS and THEMSELVE'S
