2007 Pontiac G6: headlights failing or too dim

Filed Aug 11, 2023 · Airbags, Electrical · NY

Electrical issue with my pontiac g6 I have had to replace my headlights bulbs multiple times due to the plugs melting I have actively seen the plug smoking and it has happened on both of my drl/low beam headlight bulbs resulting in plugs having to be replaced multiple times as well. My engine light isn't working and yet I have engine codes my service air bag light comes on at random my buckle seat belt light won't go off it stays on when I'm buckled in the driver's seat. My pressure sensor on my fuel tank has low voltage issues. When shutting the car off and opening the driver door all accessories that should of shut off are still active including the radio. The oil light is always turning on but the vehicle isn't low on oil nor does the message appear. When plugging in a car scanner the anti theft system light turns on and at random times will shut the car off. When the car scanner gets plugged in the rpms drop for a second and then go up as well. At times only one of my headlights work and I have to smack the headlight that isn't working to get it working.

Headlight went out . Upon changing it I noticed that wiring harness was burnt and melted. Also was driving and power steering went out driving 65 miles per hour. The cruise control got stuck . Right side making horrible noise at times. This has put me and my five year old as well as anyone driving near me at risk of dying.

All rear lights do not work. I have had the bulbs and fuses replaced the only lights that work are the side markers. Front headlights, I have had the bulbs, fuses, and all components replaced or checked to determine why front passenger headlight was working intermittently and now longer works at all high or low beams, driver side front only high beam works. I was informed there was a recall on a wiring cluster on these vehicles that controls the lights.

The wiring connector for the drivers side low beam h11 headlight has melted and shorted 3 times now, leaving the driver without a drivers side headlighht. Vehicle was using oem part number head lights, of which never burnt out or failed and original headlight housings that it rolled off assembly with. Each time the harness has been replaced by an appropriate harness by a gm certified repair center. I have once noticed while using the remote start feature that the headlight will get really bright then appear to burn out as the vehicles engine starts. A connector with such high impedance I consider outright dangerous and a potential fire hazard. Not to mention the risk of a serious crash due to a malfunctioning headlight.

Drivers side low beam headlight keeps burning out. The electrical wiring appears to get too hot and burns the light bulb out. The socket and the bulb would both need to be replaced because it the socket partially melts. I have replaced the socket and the bulb three times and the same thing keeps happening.

Electrical systems that control power steering weaken when switching gears. Power steering causes lights to dim in car and headlamps outside of car at night and during the day. Lighting fails on the front passenger side causing right turn signal to malfunction and entire assembly to appear dim and not at all when signal is activated. This occurs at all times of vehicle use: stationary, city driving, and highway driving.

Driver's side low beam headlight keeps going out due to faulty socket/wiring. Was replaced initially because factory socket melted at bulb contacts. Have replaced socket twice now, but if wires are at a certain angle going into the socket, the headlight will go out. Problem will usually present itself when turning car on, have to get out and give the headlight assembly a smack to get it to come back on. Also very limited room inside headlight assembly, leaving wiring cramped at an odd angle and in the direct path of the locking mechanism for the access cap.

I have had issues with the driver side low beam headlight burning/shorting out since I bought the car almost 5 years ago. Usually I just replace the bulb and it burns out shortly but then we had it rewired. Worked for a couple months but the whole wiring is messed up again and they want to take the bumper off to see what's wrong. Too expensive for what the car is worth. I searched on some forums and I am not the only person who has had this issue with this car.
