headlights simutaniously stopped working?

Post by rumrun999 »

2004 Vibe. The headlights both stopped working at the same time. High beams, fog lights and the amber lights still work perfect. I replaced the dimmer relay and head light relay, still no head lights in the fuse box. Is there another light relay/delay/sensor.....somewhere. Thanks for your time.

It may of just been their time and not a problem with a fuse. I would try some new bulbs. Good luck and welcome to the site!

I have worked on cars for just about ever. Then one thinks, it can't be that, the first and most simplest thing, sure enough, both headlights, I feel like an A$$, just goes to show, life has lessons no matter how old one is.

No problem! Glad it was something simple. Like Keith said, it isn't uncommon for these cars for that to happen.

This message is to Keith. No excuses, but when I read this on your home page, I thought this was the message you had for me "Don't blame me for your lack of maintenance on your car!Educate yourself and DIY!Sorry for my ignorance, I fully apologize.

I won't go on about the stupid stuff I've done to fix a problem and the answer was very simple. God it would be epic if it was recorded! Hope you got it fixed OK! Yea those lights always seem to fail in pairs and I'ver learned my lesson there. One time I went to the store and replaced one, the guy at the counter suggested I'd replace both, but I didn't and before I got home the other went out....back to the store again...LOL
