| Noticed that the headlights became intermittent; started occurring more frequently once problem started eventually headlights would not stay on; discovered the problem was relative to the position of the tilt of steering column; vehicle was evaluated and repaired; repair included replacing the wiring harness and the multifunction switch; the wiring harness had shorted out apparently from the repeated movement of the tilt being adjusted; old part is available; i'm reporting this because the problem is dangerous when the headlights go off traveling at high speeds at night. it is also a fire hazard per the mechanic that repaired the vehicle. we did smell smoke at one time but didn't notice any other components damaged. maybe we were just lucky. *tr | |||

| Our 2001 tahoe has had problems with the drivers side lower light assembly for quite a while. it houses the turn signal, clearance light and daytime running light. it constantly fills with water. there are no cracks in the lens and i have dried it out and replaced bulbs on a monthly basis. i noticed that a large majority of chevy trucks, tahoes and suburbans on the road have one of these lights out also, one side or the other. *nm | |||
