Default Headlights

Ok, so I read through all the stickies and can't seem to find what I'm needing to know.

I have a 2001 c5z. When I go to turn my headlights on, they maybe come up 25% of the time. When they finally do come up, they come up all the way and without drag. I'm guessing that it might have something to do with the actual switch in car and not the gear in the headlight assembly because it comes right up when it actually works. Any ideas or had this problem?

On a side note, my car seems to have a lot of electrical problems. The A/C assembly in the car doesn't show any thing on it although the A/C works and very well at that. The windows sometimes won't roll up. The head lights won't come up sometimes. My cruise control will disengage randomly. Maybe I just have a grounding problem or something but I have no idea. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Headlight problem is likely related to the multi-function switch. Look here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...f-replace.html

AC Display look here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...splay-fix.html

Both are common issues; search is your friend. The cruise control issue could be related to your multi-function switch as well...
