2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: headlights failing or too dim

Filed Jan 17, 2025 · Electrical, Lights · OK

Truck lost power and died while making a low speed right turn. Attempted to start vehicle but was unable to immediately after losing power, after trying again for about 30 seconds I was able to get it to start and pull it off the road. I lost control of the steering as the steering wheel locked up. When I turned it back on the truck required me to roll the driver window down and back up and radio stations went back to the default station, letting me know that the truck lost power. This typically happens at low speed, but I have had it lose power while driving on the highway at night and my headlights shut off, luckily it immediately came back on.

At low speeds my brakes stop working. The brake pedal becomes very stiff and I have to use both feet pushing down as hard as I can for the vehicle to stop. Also,the head light switch inside the vehicle does not work. When I turned the dial off of the auto lights I saw smoke coming out from behind the dial.

The LED headlights fail to illuminate the road for an acceptable distance. The light only projects high enough and long enough to light the road for a short distance.
