#2006 chevy cobalt ss headlights plus

David abbasi.Īll problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt I feel this should be a saftey recall for gm to fix at no cost to customer. Then you have to rig up a solution to make the defective box seal, such as adding weatherstipping.

The solution seems to be to replace the fuse box in the engine compartment a $200 part plus a few labor hours. We are now fearful, will the lights shut off while we are driving, and off course will we be stranded with a dead battery when parking the car. Also, turning the auto lights off manually has stopped being effective. Today, the lights started comming on by themselves when the car was parked. The work around that seemed to work for a long time was to manually turn the auto lights off using the multifunction lever on the steering wheel.

I recently took the car back and it was still behaving in this manner. This car first started doing this back in 2009 when my daughter had it. The box is not seal properly and moisture gets into the box, causing a failure on the circuit board.

In these cars the relay circuit is built in the underside of the engine compartment fuse box. Typically cars had a physical relay to control the headlights. This seems to be a common problem with the 2007 and newer Cobalts. We have been stranded with a dead battery when this happens. They also turn on by themselves sometimes when the car is parked and off. The automatic headlights on the car do shut off intermittently.
