Hello all
I have a 2002 Silverado Z71 1500 HD sportsbed
The questions I have are
I just noticed that my automatic Headlights as well as the switch on
headlights are not working
I tried replacing any fuses (found no bad ones) than the relay
(switched it out with one that was working (no help)
The daytime running lights do work and the Highbeams do work just no
low beams in either mood(auto or manual)
Any Ideas or where to check next? Im thinking the blinker switch on
the steering colum mutli switch (expensive)
Please help if you can

Now the weird problem
Every now and then it wont start

Not sure about the no start issue, but for the Headlights, maybe something
simple like two bad bulbs?
When I was working in my uncles garage YEARS ago, I had a customer come in
with only HighBeams working. The Low Beams had burned out on both. Had to
replace both headlights and all was well.

Good Luck
Jim

I have to agree, take out the bulbs and check them. My wife's Trailblazer
had 2 burned out headlight low beams, weirdest thing was they were checked a
few days before along with all the other lights for safety.

Ever since the 99/2000 Silverados, the head lights and some other
running lights were

turned on by the computer. Your fix may require a 'Computer lights
on"

check/test at a Chev Dealer. The dash switches tell the computer
what to do...

Hey Thanks
This might be what is needed to be done
Can I just go into any dealer and ask them to check the computer for
headlight turn on is working?
The word Blub likes to come out in me I don't know why LOL
Thanks again
Could this be a result of over rpms I did have to start the truck
once or twice with starter fluid and by holding the throttle body open
a bit to get a no gas flow to work again so truck would stay running
at this time the motors rpm went pretty high before I could kick it
down
Then I noticed the check engine light came on but went out after a few
miles
could this have done in the computer for lights because they did work
before this happened, looking for solution to this problem
Thank You again
