1995 Buick Skylark Exterior lighting Problems

“In aug 2001 I had to have the turn signal lever on the steering column replaced due the headlights and turn signals becoming non operative. In feb 2002 I started to have random occurences of the headlights being nonfunctional while the switch was being operated, usually after turning the switch on and off for a few seconds the headlights would operate normally. In june 2003 the left and right turn signals started to randomly not operate properly. Sometimes the signal would not come on at all when activated, other times the signal would stay on, even though the turn would be completed. …”

“Consumer had to hold the high beam light button in order for the high beam to work. The consumer was concerned about the fact that the lights, wipers, signals, and the horn are all located on the steering wheel which may go out as well.”

“Would be trying to use signal lever or the horn and neither would work properly. Horn went out first, then signal lights. Its an ongoing problem caused by an electrical short. Have not taken to dealership. Consumer adds when flashers are turned on, the signals start to work.”

“When headlights are on the lights will turn off. Consumer, therefore, turned the high beams on, then turned the low beams back on, and the headlights are okay. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer has yet to replace any parts. Consumer stated that this condition happens intermittently, consumer was told by mechanic that this condition was common and switch was replaced.”

“When switching to high beam headlights go out completely and will not come back on for some time. Fortunately I was not on a curvy road and there was no oncoming traffic. Same problem reported in a car column on a 94 gra nd am. May be problem on other related models.”
