used.? Light switch on driver door will not turn on headlights all the time. When they don't turn on, I have found that if I pull the high beam selector on the steering column I can get the low beams to stay on. Lately it has become a regular problem now that it's getting cold. I'm thinking there's a problem in the steering column. Is there a high beam switch in the steering column that is causing this problem? Can I replace it?

OH I just had this happen to me. Its the dimmer switch. Not sure how to fix it in a buick but I fixed my cougars problem. Mine would flicker. I just put in a toggle switch b/c my car was a real pile of crap. A few weeks later I lost a balljoint at 60 mph. yikes that cars gone. Yeah get a repair manuel and a dimmer switch. or take it into a mechanic. Remember to disconect battery first.
