Default Headlight Light Stays On. Help

I've been battling this one on and off for a while.

The headlight light on the dash stays lit and I can't get it to go off. I've wiggled the switches and had someone sit in the car and said they went off here and there. Has anybody else had this problem and how do I adjust the switch(es) to prevent the light from staying on?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like one of your switches is bad. Unplug them one at a time to diagnose the problem.
Had the same problem. I left the bad one unplugged till I get around to buying a new one.

Thanks Stewart.

Yeah...there's nothing like lighting up the interior at night with that red light.

Had a similar issue and agree with headlight switch as likely culprit. It may be the switch' internals or it may be the bolt that connects to the lamp machinery. That bolt was broken off mine and I glued it back on together with an aluminum reinforcement piece. (Pictures are at http://www.corvettes.de.vu).


Good luck,

Chris
