door pins may be bad, you doors may also be sagging at the hinges causing a bad connection, your lights will dim when you brake because of a draw on the battery, but it sounds like your pin switches are bad

The 97 Bonneville. That has. The twilight sentinel feature. The dash. Or cluster does not work none of the int light works and the fog lamp all fuses are goods

Twilight feature is used by the BCM to turn on the headlights when light levels diminish. Dash, cluster lighting is controlled by a rheostat near the headlight switch. The rheostat is rolled up for brighter lights. If this does not work the interior module may have burned out or the rheostat may be bad. If interior lights come on when rheostat is rolled fully up it most likely is OK. Interior lighting module is located above the headlight switch beside the cluster on the left side.

I have a 96 caprice and the digital dash turns out when I cut on headlights. I was told to change the headlight switch, but the only one I found has a twilight sentinel and my car doesn't. Can I still use...

Before you replace the switch, test it at the dash connection and see if it is getting a signal from it. The lights are made to dim when the lights are turned on and is a separate circuit than daylight running.

1983 chevy caprice classic my dashboard lights dont work and also the clock stops working when i turn the lights on

Probably bad ground in the dash circuitry. You'll have to pull it out and check all the connections. Big job.

I have a 1995 chevy caprice... the headlights intermitantly go off and on. I have changed the multi fundtion switch and the high/low beam switch but problem still lingers.. any suggestions?

Did you try the head lamp switch.The one on the dash not the steering column?if you have power going in then when you turn the head lights on you should have power going out.Power in would be the red wire and going out would be the yellow wire when you turn the lights on.Does your vehicle have twilight sentinel?This is auto lights where they go on by them selves when you have them in auto mode.Hope this helps.Good luck.

96 caprice classic headlight adjustment

YES, TAKE A MOTO TOOL AND MAKE A SLOT IN THE SREW THAT IS LOCATED UPPER EACH HEAD LIGHT. YOU WILL FIND IT EASY BECAUSE THERE IS JUST ONE EMBEDED IN A PLASTIC MOLDED PIECE THAT SECURE IT TO THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. FOR TO ADJUST IT LATERALY, YOU WILL NNED A RATCHED WITH A 10mm CUBE AND A DARK PLACE TO MAKE ADJUSTEMENTS

My headlights come on but my taillights have just stop working.But when I press the brake they come on.What do I surpose to do?

Check your fuses first. In a '92 Roadmaster, they would be number 14 and 15, light blue 15A fuses. I am not sure about other years, but your owners manual should tell you. Otherwise it could be the headlight switch, or the Twilight Sentinel Module if your car has the option.
I had a similar problem a few months ago with my '92 Roadmaster Wagon. My problem was due to the Twilight Sentinel Module. If your parking lights do not come on (dash lights, too), but the headlights do when your Twilight Sentinel should turn them all on, try to use the rocker switch to turn on the lights. If the parking lights come on with the rocker switch, I believe you need a Twilight Sentinel Module. However, if you do not have a Twilight Sentinel Module, or your lights do not come on using the rocker switch, you may have a bad switch or faulty wiring. The Twilight Sentinel Module is located way up under the dash, to the right (passenger) side of the steering column where the column goes through the firewall. It looks like the one in the picture, and could be off white or gray, or perhaps a different color.
