  • Headlights pop up when car is turned on!

    I have a 98 firebird... the headlights are popping up and ON whenever the car gets turned on... and the switch does nothing. Yes, I did a search on here... nothing.

    Any ideas what is going on? Is it the switch?


    Thanks. Im going to also post this in the other forum.

    its probably the gear inside the headlight motor. You can replace it with a stronger one instead. I know that sounds weird but does it make a grinding noise? When the gears wore down on mine, the lights would pop up at random and when I pushed the keyless entry.

      Sounds like your light sensor is bad.

        I dont hear a grinding noise at all.

        I dont know if replacing the gear would do it- it doesnt have trouble or make noise going up or down. It does squeak but probably needs a lil grease but that cannot be the reason its doing what its doing. lol
        I cant turn the lights off because the switch is already in the off position... Ya know... I noticed the DRLs dont come on unless the switch is on P or headlights.
