I have a 97 grand prix and I have noticed that my A/C / Heat / Blower are not working but the strange thing is when I turn the blower switch on it turns on my headlights. The headlight switch is in the off position.

Looking for some troubleshooting help.

Have you checked fuses? Have you checked the blower motor itself?

Yes, fuses are good. blower had worked before this but what would this have to do with my headlights turning on when i turn on the blower motor?

That's a good point... Have you checked the condition of the relay box? Look there to see if anything is melted or shows indications that power could be jumping between relays. There has to be a short to power. As a result, when you send power to the blower, the power is rerouting to the lights. Not a common issue.
