Imp558 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Before I start troubleshooting is there a common cause for a second Gen to leave it's headlights stuck on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schurkey Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 "Stuck on"? The ignition key is in your pocket, you've been in the house for fifteen minutes, and the lights are still on? NOT a matter of DDRL? Damned Daytime Running Lights, where GM has the arrogance to insist the headlights be lit in broad daylight whenever the engine is running, and pretend that this is a "safety feature" even though there's ZERO actual proof such as peer-reviewed "scientific studies"? NOT a matter of "convenience lighting" where the lights stay on for a short time after the engine is shut-down, so you can see to get into the house at night? The timer is typically adjustable from under a minute to maybe three minutes or somesuch. I'd guess you either have a defective light switch, or a relay with partially-burned (welded-together) contacts that don't open like they should. There could be other causes, but I think those would be the two most-likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 uck on all the time, caught it 30 minutes after she got home and pulled the fuse. I'm going to take the light sensor out tomorrow, I think that junk-ass second gen BCM is doing something stupid. I've never had an issue just turning headlights on, automatic headlights are just a nuisance to me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Human Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Yeah, pulling the light sensor might fix it. I had to do that on a '97 Cadillac I used to have. The sensor went wonky and it would go into DRL mode, regardless of how dark it was outside, which meant I didn't have dash lights. Once I pulled the sensor, it worked just fine as a manual system.

runt Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Do you have the stock bulbs in it or HIDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 The wire that used to go to a bulb turns on a relay for the HID ballasts. I pulled the sensor and it hasn't done it since, but the drl still works. Bubinga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
