What is the Headlight Switch all about?

The headlamp switch allows you to turn on the lights. If the switch does not work, you will not be able to turn on the lights. Not only is it unsafe to drive the car without proper lights, but it is also illegal.

Keep in mind:

  • The switch may only be available at the dealer. YourMechanic will find the cost and availability from a local dealer.
  • Your vehicle may have a combination switch, which combines the headlight switch and turn signal switch in one assembly.

How it's done:

  • Inspect the switch.
  • Test the fuses.
  • Remove and replace the switch if found faulty.
  • Check operation of all vehicle lighting.

Our recommendation:

A mechanic should inspect all the lights in the car during every major service event. If the lights do not come on, the mechanic should inspect the fuse, wiring, and connectors. It is common for the lens to get dirty and not allow enough light to shine through. You should keep the headlamp lens clean and free of oxidation. Mechanics can use a special lens oxidation restorer kit to clean the headlights.

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

  • Headlamps do not turn on.
  • Running lights do not turn on.
  • Not able to select or deselect high beam operation.

How important is this service?

The headlight switch allows you to turn on and off your headlights. When you press the button or pull the lever (depending on your vehicle) to turn on your headlights, the headlight switch is responsible for triggering the lights. A broken headlight switch means that you won’t be able to turn on your headlights. Driving without headlights is a hazard to you, your passengers, and your surroundings, and it can also result in an expensive ticket.

Mazda Miata L4-1.8L - Car is stalling - Sunnyvale, California
Honoring came and diagnosed my car. He was very thorough and made Irvine past some false positive diagnostic tests until he was 100% sure he found the issue. I was very impressed that I didn't end up paying to fix non-issues or spend multiple repair cycles debugging.

Mazda Miata L4-1.8L - Car idle is rough - San Francisco, California
Grzegorz's is very knowledgeable. I can tell he knows his stuff from the way he works around the engine bay. He doesn't seem to know my car well, but seems like he has a rule down to check most cars. He did a lot of test and the one hour diagnostic was probably not enough. He did misdiagnose my IACV. There was nothing wrong with it. I'm glad I didn't spend the $300+ for a new IACV that was quoted. I purchased a used one for $50. I did my own testing on the supposedly defective IACV and the used one. They both have the same resistance reading. I still want to give it the benefit of the doubt and replace my original IACV with the used one. I started the car but the issue still exist. I kinda doubt both IACV are defective so like many people I went online to check the IACV specs and found out the resistance is within working range. I'm not a pro so it took lots of researching to correctly diagnose what's wrong with the car. Didn't want to spend more money to probably get another wrong diagnose again, I did more test on my own. At the end maybe 5 hours of total diagnosing myself, I did a fuel pressure test and discovered my car was running at 20psi and also when I turn the car off, it didn't retain pressure because it just dropped to 3psi within 30 seconds. At this point 100% sure the issue is in the fuel . I have since put my original IACV back on and replaced my fuel pump. The car is running fine again.
