What is the Headlamp Dimmer Switch all about?

The headlamp dimmer switch may be part of the turn signal switch or it can be mounted on the floor. This switch enables you to dim the headlamp beam from low to high or vice versa. A bad switch will not change the headlamp beam. Your headlamps being stuck on high beams can create a dangerous situation for oncoming drivers.

Keep in mind:

In many vehicles, the dimmer switch is part of a multi-switch that also controls the windshield wipers, turn signals, and cruise control. *Replacing this multi-switch means all of those components will need to be re-wired.

How it's done:

Inspect the switch.
Remove and replace the faulty switch.
Check operation of the headlamps and verify the high/low beam switching.

Our recommendation:

It should be noticeable when your headlamp dimmer switch stops working. If you find that your vehicle is unable to alternate between high and low beams, then you should schedule a service.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Headlamp Dimmer Switch?

Lights will not change between high and low beams. They will be stuck on one or the other.
Headlamps will not stay on high-beam setting.

How important is this service?

The headlamp dimmer switch allows you to select between your headlamp's high and low beams. When you pull the lever on your steering wheel column, the dimmer switch triggers the high beams, and either turns them on or turns them off. When the headlamp dimmer switch malfunctions, your headlights won’t be able to switch between high and low. You’ll either be stuck with only low beams, which can mean poor visibility, or you’ll be stuck with only high beams, which is hazardous to the drivers around you.

Cadillac STS V6-3.6L - Headlight Bulb Replacement (Driver Side Low Beam) - Fairborn, Ohio

William was great. He showed up early, got everything done in the exact quoted time frame, and explained everything to me, in terms I could understand. No pressure to get more services like with lots of shops. All-in-all, it was a great experience. Not to mention how convenient it is to have a mechanic come to your house.

Cadillac STS V6-3.6L - Ignition Coil - Stone Mountain, Georgia

Tony has worked on my car twice. The first time was to actually re-diagnose a questionable suggestion by another mechanic working for a stealership while the car was under "warranty". He was very thorough with his assessment and quite accurately determined what the problem was. In order to ensure my long term happiness, he went behind the last guys spark plug change to check for proper gap and sure enough all six plugs were widely varied and the wrong type of plug as well. After proper oem replacement was found and properly gapped away we go to "Purring like a Caddy!"
