EXTERIOR LIGHTING - HEADLIGHTS - SWITCH
02/01/2007102/20/2005
 2005 chevrolet silverado hd 2500. driving head lights automatically came on by themselves. vehicle was shut off at 7:00 pm, received a phone call at 3:00 am that the head lights were on. vehicle had not been moved or started since it had been parked at 7:00 pm. could not get the lights to shut off. restarted vehicle and shut off vehicle and lights still wouldn't shut off. the head lights were on but no tail lights. turned automatic head light switch o off, nothing happened. it took about 5 times of doing this before they finally shut off. it seems like it maybe a faulty switch. *nm
