This Olds is taking up a spot in my garage where a tractor goes.
Its my sister's car, so I don't drive it, I just get to fix it. Anyway...
The headlights turn themselves on and off whenever they feel like it, day or night.
It does this just setting out in the yard with no one around it.
The automatic headlight feature is turned off.
I thought it might be the turn signal/dimmer/multi-function switch in the steering column.
Sis took it to the dealer (without telling them what I thought) and they said it "might"
be that switch, said that is a fairly common failure and wanted to replace it.
But they wouldn't guarantee that would fix it. A $750 guess.
I pulled it into the garage tonight with the intention of working on it tomorrow.
When I pulled it in, I noticed that when I turn the steering wheel back and forth
I can hear the relays click and the lights will turn on and off.
Sitting still in place it will do the same thing. Turn the wheel and they come
on and go off.
Anyone have experience with this symptom?
Am I on the right track or off in the weeds?
