My high beam switch doesn't work correctly. Plus now the cruise control stopped working. Could these be related?

My high beam switch acts like a tab is broken off. When you pull them on, it's like you have to really pull for them to stay on. Sometimes when you go to dim them, it shuts the headlights off. Is this a relay or something in the switch? Today the cruise control stopped working. Would that be connected somehow because of it all being close the steering wheel & the dimmer/high beam issue?

SOURCE: Low Beams Stay On

Also, the daytime driving lights are controlled by relay. It's possible the relay may have melted down inside and is shorted, remaining on even when primary ignition power is off. The relay runs about $15.00 to $20.00 USD and might be worth a shot to replace. Likely you can get one at a recycling yard for a dollar or two.

SOURCE: 2002 Impala, headlights work however they blink

This may be the start of a worse problem that the Impala eventually developes. The Body Control Module has a design flaw along with the Passlock anti-theft system. You may get away with just replacing the BCM for now. It needs to be reprogrammed at the dealer and the car will not start if you replace the BCM without reprogramming it. I would also recommend against replacing it with a remanufactured one. Repair cost is going to be around $500 at the dealer.

If the Passlock system is also at fault, add another $500 for a new ignition switch and cylinder. If you haven't experienced random starting problems yet, they are coming soon. When you turn the key, nothing happens. I thought my 2002 Impala may have been immune to these problems that I've heard about constantly, however, at 90,000 miles, it became "possessed". The symptoms started slowly and got worse. Beside the interior lights flashing like strobs in the middle of the night (while the car was not running), the headlights would occasionally click off and on a few times while I was driving at night.

The relay switch you hear clicking is the Battery Rundown Protection relay. I'm suprised your battery hasn't drained to the point where the car will not start in the morning.

On my 2006 Elantra, yesterday I noticed one headlight out. Today, only the high beams work, the tail lights are out, and the cruise control doesn't work. Has anyone else had this problem?

may be you should make a diagnostic and you can do it in a garage or you can do it by yourself if you want to do it by yourself you need some tools and you can find some good ones here: xcardiag.com

The switch for the high beam does not work...only low beams and no cruise control 1991 beretta

The first thing that I would recommend checking is the fuse panel. If that checks out, then you are looking at replacing the switch that operates the high beam, and the cruise control.

Cruise control stopped working

I had a similar problem with my 99 Suburban. After not being able to solve the problem for about six months, my headlamps stopped working on the low beams. This led my mechanic to change the multi-function switch on the steering column (turn signal/cruise control switch/high beams) When he did this he discovered that the wire terminals at the switch had gotten hot enough to melt a little, this allowed the ground terminal to slip out of the connector. Once replaced, the cruise control miraculously started working again. I have had no problems with it for the last four years. The local GM dealer told me later that they had quite a few trucks with the same problem and it typically started with customers noticing that their cruise control stopped working. Give this a try!

I have a 2001 Focus station wagon. the cruise control will not engage. And the high beams will not stay on (I can flick them, but they won't stay). Are these loose switches of some sort, that I could...

I would check the easy things first. That is the brake switch and the clutch switch (manual trans). Drive down the road and pull the brake pedal up with your foot and then try to set the cruise (same with the clutch pedal). Also the cruise requires that the brake light bulbs be in working order (and that there are no LED brake lights). Check fuse numbers 53 54 and 59.
The high beam problem might be related to the cruise issue, but I can't think of a reason why.
