A couple months or even longer, they come on again. If the fuse is broken, you will need to replace it. Which is very poorly designed. Locate the wire harness connection. The technician replaced both headlight bulbs and the water was drained from the lens of both headlights.
The liftgate seal had gone bad, not something I was expecting and annoying. It is hard to pin down the trouble then. Oil in our skin can damage the glass bulbs of halogen headlights. A couple months or even longer, they come on again. I had a blazer that did the same thing with the headlights and taillights. I then noticed smoke coming out of the light controls near the steer wheel. Profit over engineering is very evident.
I also have both headlights filled with moisture and it affects the brightness of the lights at night. After replacing both headlights and multiple bulbs, the entire left side went out in July 2014. My right side is building up with moisture and will eventually have to be replaced once my headlight goes out. Align the three guide pins to their seats and push the assembly back into them gently until they snap into place. For example: It could be the wiring where the resistor connects…they disturbed it, and it worked for a bit.
They are turned on by making a connection to ground. I did notice a couple of relays being used in the light circuit but I could not see how they could be causing the kind of trouble you are were? In addition, the driver side power window failed to operate. If they are not the mechanism, where are the things or how do you aim the headlights? The moisture in the headlight froze letting very little light through. The battery jumping procedure did not work. The contact was driving approximately 25 mph with the headlights in activation and suddenly the headlights failed to operate. I have been told by the dealership that the air bag will not deploy in an accident. The smoke stopped, and the lights are finally off.
Nov 24, 2013 Step-by-step instructions for replacing the headlamps on your 2008 Chevrolet Equinox are located in the Owner's Manual that came with your truck. Any subversion of these rules will result in action taken against your account. In October 2015, condensation began building up again in the driver's side lens. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. If the headlights still malfunction, there may be a problem with the headlight fuse. It used to light the roadway great, now I can hardly see 2 cars ahead of me.
I have had them checked out. And said they adjusted them. This was very dangerous during a snow storm and night. Seems to be in my transmission. Pull the assembly forward away from the Malibu, but be careful not to scratch the bumper. I made numerous trips to dealership who insists it is working ok and nothing is wrong. Lift them all the way up to align the hole on the bottom of each bracket to the retaining tabs on the assembly.
It sounds to me they are just guessing at a fix for the trouble but maybe the lights are working ok when they are working on the trouble. A little over a month ago I noticed that driving at night is dangerous. That is why I truly believe they need to be recalled. I just hate dealing with dealership. A modern car with a dead battery is frustrating, can not open any door except driver's.
This is a known gm issue; however, gm does not seem to want to accept responsibility for a poorly manufactured headlight assembly in the Equinox. See diagram I have an 05 equinox having intermittent electrical problems. Open the hood and locate the top of the headlight assembly where you intend to change the headlight. The failure mileage was unknown. John answered about a year ago Yes there is a recall on that transmission. Since the car was about a year old, there has always been a heavy build-up of condensation inside the headlamp assembly.
Lift the shroud out of the way to access the headlight assembly retaining brackets. The entire assembly from the left side of the car to the right has to be taken off to access the headlamps.

Where I an trust to bring my car. The V6 offers adequate power, but sounds coarse and gets mediocre fuel economy. Pull the old bulb out and place the new bulb in. Use your index finger and thumb to remove the fuse. Unless you left something over the light sensor you can also check the headlight relay behind center of dash but it may be a body module so a pro will need to scan it to see if there are any code. I am giving you the wiring diagram for the exterior light system which includes the headlights.
