1992 Pontiac Grand Am Dash Lights Out

Suggested Repair

On the 1992 Pontiac Grand Am, check the dimmer portion of the headlight switch, not only the main switch. On the 1991 Chevy Cavalier, confirm whether the turn signals and headlights share the same lever and whether one or both headlights go out; if only one side is affected, check the grounds in that corner and inspect the combination lever for wiring wear inside the steering column.

Conversation Summary

A 1992 Pontiac Grand Am with a 2.5L engine suddenly lost all dash lights after the headlight switch and fuses were checked. The expert advised checking the dimmer part of the switch. Separately, a 1991 Chevy Cavalier with a 2.2L engine sometimes loses its headlights briefly when the right turn signal is used. The expert asked whether both lights are affected and suggested checking corner grounds or wiring rubbed by the combination lever inside the column.
