Looked at schematic, problem looks to be at dimmer switch, you have high beams so you have power from switch

My 2000 Lesabre was shutting off while driving randomly. Then if you used the high beams it shut the car off. Then sometimes the car ran fine. Then later if you just turned the lights on it killed the car. All fuses checked,new headlight switch,to highlight relay under the hood,new pig tails on all lights,new bulbs,battery and alternator checked. Still no results Then I ran the grounds down and noticed that the drivers side low bam light was dim when it spazed out. THE LIGHT WAS GROUNDING !! Soo I spliced the ground to a bolt on the radiator support. PROBLEM SOLVED I hope this helps someone Believe it or not that ground made the car shut off

I have almost the same problem as Guru18JDL, it seems. Bright headlights work, taillights work, yellow DRLs work. But my regular-brightness headlights won't come on, either with the ambient light sensor when I turn the car on, or by using the manual knob. I checked the fuses and the bulbs are pretty new. Any ideas, please?
