The original headlight switch malfunctioned and I did not have any dash lights or tail-lights. The second switch malfunctioned too and the headlights now go out when I try to cycle them from high beam to low beam or don't come on until I cycle them again.

We have had a problem with the windows not working. We've had to push up the window with our hands while pushing the power window button and it doesn't close all the way. Now it does not work at all. Also we have problems with the headlights staying on. We noticed if we play with the multifunction switch (like turning the high beams on and off) then the headlights will come back on after a few tries. We recently replaced all 4 brakes and now the ABS light is on and stays on. Dealer stated that there's nothing wrong with the ABS brakes.

Headlight switch on these vehicles are of a bad design or have a wire in the wrong place (causing it to get cut) . The headlights can go out at any time, possibly causing a crash. I have talked to other grand am owners and they too are having or have had a problem similar to mine.

The head lights keep going out when you turn them on. They also go out while you are going down the road. Might be a defective switch. To get the lights to come back on you have to switch from dime to bright and back to dime.
