No low beam headlights

Asked by rhp0615 Dec 10, 2013 at 01:14 PM about the 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GT

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

All running lights, brake lights, and high beams work fine, but low beam headlights do not come on.  Any recommendations or suggestions?

headlight bulb filaments, turning them on after starting a very cold engine zaps them with a voltage spike from the alt. if their older they fail instantly,this time of year you'll see more punch buggies than ever! well used too!

The relay is located under the hood in the fuse box labeled #35 DCM Module. I got mine from; rockauto.com ACDELCO Part # 15016745 Main Relay GM Original Equipment One of our most popular parts LOW BEAM

Sean! You da man! Thanks for the pics of the relay and box position. Reading the GM "key" to the fuse/relay box and relay descriptions is more confusing than indoctrinating. Of course they do this on purpose. My local GM Dealer wanted $125 just to LOOK at the car and give me a price to fix it. And they have the nerve to act SURPRISED when I tell them I've been a lifelong die-hard GM man (at 58) and I'll never buy another GM product again! LMAO!

I had to replace the relay a few times before I dot a good one that didnt go out. This one has lasted about a year so far with no prolems.

I have a 97 Grand Prix GTP and I have no low beam, sometimes they come on and most of the time they do not. Tried replacing the light switch, no luck. Replaced the rely/fuse in the box next to the glove box again no luck. I'm drawing a blank. Hope someone can give me some advise on this fix so, far I've been unlucky in fixing it. Thanks

The HDM relay is a factory recall and GM WILL replace the relay for no cost... You could just bypass it with jumpers though.

Same problem 6 years ago, replaced relay #35 under the hood fusebox.. solved! happened again 2 days ago, low beam quit working. checked fuses but theyre good. then i remembered the relay replacement so tried that. Got it for free ...turned out it had lifetime warranty at O'reilly when i got it 6 years ago. I only spent $5 for the fuse tester. Thank you God!
