Headlights do not functionĪnother symptom, one of a more serious issue, is headlights that do not function. A dimmer switch that is stuck on low will leave the vehicle without high beams, while one stuck on high will leave the vehicle without low beams and blind other drivers on the road if the vehicle is driven at night. If you notice that the headlights remain stuck on either high or low beam then that may be a potential sign of a bad dimmer switch. Headlights stuck on one settingĪnother symptom of a faulty headlight dimmer switch is headlights that are stuck on one setting. Depending on which lights are affected, this may problems that may render the vehicle unsafe to drive at night. A bad switch may not work on certain settings, which will leave the vehicle without that particular set of lights. If the dimmer switch contacts fail or wear out it may cause issues when switching between or turning on the headlights.
