1996 Chevrolet Cavalier Exterior lighting Problems

“Rear tail/brake light sockets failed, causing rear brake lights and turn signal indicators to malfunction. Upon inspection, I found bad electrical corrosion inside the bulb sockets, preventing a proper electrical contact. I was able to fix the left side by cleaning the electrical contacts, while the right side is unrepairable. Malfunction of both rear brake/turn signals is a major safety hazard.”

“Dt: the contact stated the headlights glowed an orange/yellow color. The dealership replaced the sockets and bulbs, but this has not solved the problem. The dealership stated there was no problem with the vehicle. The contact insisted this impaired his vision and he could not see three feet in front of the vehicle.”

“I just had to replace a hazard light switch at 61,000 miles. The rear lights did not function. However the inside dash and front lights did work properly. I was having the car towed at the time and he is the one to bring it to my attention. I did call GM and there was a recall on my car and this particular part had been replaced at 29,000 miles. This is too important of a safety issue to have fail again at 30,000 miles later. Please contact me if you need any further information. Thank you!”

“I have had reoccurring problems with the lights and the start up light on suspension since the day I purchased the automobile. Everytime I took it in for repair, I got a cannot duplicate in the place of repair. I knew nothing of the recall on this items until 6/18/2000, when I was researching other items on the Cavalier. I would appreciate getting this repaired as oppossed to cannot duplicate. I do know the suspension happens far more often than a vehicle this young age should. Thank you.”

“The contact owns a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier. The rear hazard warning lights would not flash when the switch was activated. The dealer stated that the hazard lamp switch failed. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number (exterior lighting: hazard flashing warning lights). The contact stated that the interior lights illuminated without warning. The dealer stated that the lamp control module failed. The dealer stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number (interior lighting). The current and failure mileages were 75,000.”
