Light problem in 93 Grand Am

Jan 26, 2006 3 Replies

I have started having a problem with the lights in this 1993 Grand Am SE Quad4. When I try to switch on the lights, they don't switch on. The parking lights come on, and the high beams work if you pull back the stalk (flash-to-pass) but the main lights don't come on at all.



The problem started with the lights randomly going out at night. Then they went out predictably if I switched to high beam (the CLICK after you pull the flash to pass). They would come back if you clicked it again, to go to low beam.



Now, I only have flash to pass. The low beams don't come on, neither do the high beams. I wanted to check the fuse, but I couldn't locate the one for the lights (they have such weird acronyms).



Could anyone help me out? Its a real hazard to drive without lights.



Replace the switch.

Could you tell me just how involved it is to replace the switch? I got a quote of $45 from a junkyard, so how much labor should it involve?

Thanks!

One hour at the most. It's fairly easy.
