I was over at my brother's place today and we gave my new 97 firebird a nice wax job. I just picked it up yesterday and hadn't driven it at night yet. Anyways, it night time now and I am heading home.. I start the car and release parking brake and put the car into gear, but no pop up headlights to be seen. I flip the headlights switch all the way to the right, nothing. So, I have to drive about 40 miles with my hazards on. While I was driving home, I was playing with the switch and I even stopped and started the car again, but the lights would not engage. Funny thing is, the lights popped up once or twice automatically when I was test driving the car, and in my underground garage. But the switch never worked for me.
I was pissed off thinking about the car dealership as I was driving home, barely able to see and worrying I might get hit or hit something. The dealer saftied/certified the car for me, so according to ministry of transport they are supposed to check for these kind of things. How in the @#$% do they miss a major safety issue like the headlights switch not working? Jesus.
I am certainly going to be contacting the dealer to get them to fix this. But before I do I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and if you can offer any input on what the problem might be.
If its going to be a rather technical or more involved diagnosis, I would rather just take my car to Pontiac rather than have the dealer's shadowy service shop and mechanics noodle around with the car.
