Default Never had this happen before

Got home from school, pulled into the garage and got out of the car......aaaaand the right head light would not turn off, just the right low beam....so I pulled the right headlight fuse and that did nothing....finally called Titus-Will in Olympia, got a hold of Brian/Mark the Vette guy in service and they told me to pull the headlight relay (#60?), that turned off the headlight after a few seconds, then I reinstalled it and all is fine.

Guess it was a loose relay, I'll take her out tomorrow and make sure but that was a weird little moment...and of course it happens when it's getting dark and it's cold in the garage....real first world problem

Brian @ Titus-Will is 1st cabin. You made the right choice to call him. Glad they could help you.

That's weird. Hopefully that won't happen again!

It's great (and a little surprising) that you were able to talk with someone who actually knew what to do.

Relays sometimes stick in the on position. If it happens again have the dealer replace the relay. I had a problem with my 2008 CTS intermittently running down the battery because of a relay that would sometimes keep the contacts closed even though its coil was de-energized.
