2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue lights problems

Filed Sep 21, 2015 · Electrical, Lights · 113,204 miles · ID

My headlights flicker and dim which is dangerous during nigh time driving, so I am unable to drive when its dark out. Also my blinkers work off and on. I feel gm should cover a recall on these problems.

I noticed the headlights dimming on their own about a week after I first started driving the vehicle. It occurs intermittently, and very often. I have heard the headlights switching into different modes like this both a night and during the daytime hours. This poses a serious distraction to oncoming traffic on highways and other roads and could confuse other drivers at stop signs. Gm should address this issue immediately; I have seen many other complaints on this very same issue. [note: I believe this issue may also be linked to a serious issue with the turn signal relay system. I have had intermittent blinker issues and failures on both passenger and driver side since 2010, and it does not appear that the replacement of the turn signal relay system solves the problem, it did not for me (filed separate complaint for turn signal issues experienced)]

My blinkers on the driver's side (front and back) began to malfunction and would only work intermittently in 2010. This went on for about a year and then the passenger side blinkers (front and back) began to malfunction in the same manner about 6 months later. This went on with both sides working only intermittently for 2 years. Then, suddenly while driving at night and trying to make a left turn in mid 2012, the passenger side blinker started making very loud electrical glitch sounds and then completely blew and my car died with it. I had to replace the alternator shortly after and the passenger side blinkers worked perfectly, but I had to drive with out my driver's side blinkers until mid 2013, when I could not pass dmv required inspection. I paid to have the driver's side blinker relay system replaced and it worked for about a month but then both driver and passenger side blinkers started working intermittently again. Within 1 month, the driver's side blinker relay system completely failed again (passenger works, except I have to wiggle and mess with the emergency hazards lights to get it to even turn on at all). Now I have one pair of blinkers not working at all, and one that is intermittent, 3/4 of the time it works but only if I distractedly wiggle my hazard light button while trying to turn or change lanes. Mechanics are baffled and don't know what too tell me! This is a dangerous condition for anyone to be driving with and I fear it will cause an accident someday soon. I have also had the same issue with my headlights intermittently dimming that has been reported by many gm consumers since I started driving the vehicle in 2007. I do not want to have to pay another mechanic to replace my driver's side turn signal relay system, just for it fail again due to these dangerous electrical system problems in my 2000 oldsmobile intrigue. Gm needs to act quickly!

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 oldsmobile intrigue. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH, the sunroof detached damaging the sun roof frame and vehicle. The sunroof was closed at the time of the failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the laminated material had deteriorated causing the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. In addition, the contact stated the turning signal lights failed to illuminate intermittently and in order for the lights to resume normal function the hazards light had to be illuminated.

Blinkers on a 2000 oldsmobile intrigue will quit working intermittently. Temperature and humidity seem to be a factor. Multiple taps on the hazard switch will restart the blinkers temporarily. This to be a known problem in the olds alero of the same period. See the federal safety agency action number :ea02037.

No injuries as of yet but a default in the left side directional (signal) turning light. Works for a day and then burns out creating burn plastic in the socket, could lead to a wiring problem causing the alternator and such to burn out.

I believe that I am experiencing the very same issue as addressed in investigation #ea02037. However, I have a 2000 olds intrigue. I have tried checking the fuses and wiring, but recently discovered that by moving the hazard switch, the blinkers start working again. Currently I have flaky turn signals and when they do work, only the back signals light and blink, while the front signal light comes on, the front signals do not blink. I have to "jiggle" the hazard switch daily and have had no luck finding a replacement switch. As of today, I have narrowly avoided several accidents while turning left because the cars in front of me cannot see a working signal. Please advise.

Headlights, instrument lights, and fan dim and or flicker while driving. The problem is most prevalent when the temperature is colder and during acceleration. However problem also exists under normal city and highway driving conditions. Engine performance and radio does not falter during the dimming of the lights. Alternator was replaced following tsb 010603001 one year ago. Problem appeared resolved until cold weather set in again.
