2001 Chev Cavalier LS sedan. Low beam on right works, high beam does not, also high beam on left works, low beam does not. These problems both exist simultaneously. Therefore only one headlamp is on whether in hi or lo mode. Fuses, relays, wiring, bulbs have been repeatedly checked and appear to be intact and functioning. Flash to pass feature does work. Could there be a problem w/ the turn signal/hi/lo stalk switch?

Check to make sure both head lamp bulbs are identical, ie; part numbers. If they look similar but are different numbers that can cause this issue.

No ground signal on right low beam chevrolet cavalier 1998

The bulbs are grounded to the body, so if one ground wire is dead I would expect to find a break in the wire or at the connector. You should be able to splice into the wire and run a new one to a grounding bolt.

Hello, I have a headlight problem on a 2004 chey calvalier. All of my lights work except low beam on drivers side. Fuses on left and right headlights are good. I've switched bulbs as well and nothing...

I would focus on the connections going to that head light for the low beam. I agree, it is not the switch, otherwise other side low beam would not be working. It is most likely bad bulb inlet( if it i separated bulbs for high and low) or it is the connection going to the low beam that operates it. Hope this helps. Don't waste your time on switch, it is not that.

Car: 2000 Chev Cavalier 4dr 2.2L? 4 cylinder car? My problem is this my low dim lights are very low, my high beams works only when I hold the lever arm ? (Not sure how to explain this?) any ideas what...

First, be sure that the headlights are actually coming on. These cars have daytime running lights that use the headlight bulbs at a lower voltage. If the car is only using the daytime running lights, the tail lights will not be on with the headlights. The multifunction lever always turns on the high beams when you pull on it (it's called 'flash to pass'). Make sure the headlight switch is working, and also check the headlight circuit breaker.

2001 Cavalier High beams work,low beams don't

probably best to work backwards:
the fuse itself will be fine if the lights come on at all, so at least at that point it should be fine.
first you'll want to check with a known good bulb (or put bulbs in another car [if available] to verify they are fine) to make sure you don't just have 2 burnt out low beams (high and low beams are separate filaments)

if the known good bulb still doesn't work (but normal high beams and DRL do) check the contact points where the bulb gets plugged in for any corrosion, then onto the wiring itself, feel the wires for any signs of damage; extra stiffness, very darkened areas, or very sharp bends/kinks (as much as you can reach)
