Both of you are acting pretty pathetically.
Stop now before I take a rolled up newspaper to the both of you.

If properly used, it leaves no DNA evidence.
I wouldn't want to kill you and erase your whole existence.
The sword is something one shouldn't lightly employ.

Are you talking about pulling the switch on the dash or the multiswitch? Pulling the multiswitch (blinker) back will make the both beams of your headlights come on. It's a feature built in so you can flash your lights and not ment for full time duty. It has a seperate power supply from the dash switch. It could be a bad circuit breaker on the dash switch.
If your pulling on the dash switch and they come on, then it's a faulty switch. Sounds like you need to run by the dealership and get it fixed under warranty.

I can't remember the exact specifications for the Lemon law but I think you'd ought you take a look at that. Chrysler, among other companies, seems to be notorious for quality control. Link (http://www.lemonlawusa.com/)
I too went :huh when I read your comment Byebye, it's rather condescending comment.
EDIT:I have thick skin, him explaining it and then asking seemed like he was saying "This is what it is, want to question me again?" I knew it'd open a can of worms but such is life.

I'm having a problem with the headlights on my car (2005 Chrysler Sebring Limited)...I get out of work tonight and turn on my car, go to put the lights on and nothing happens...I screw around with the switch a little and I get em on....On the ride home my lights randomly cut out five times....Everytime I was able to get them back on by screwing with the switch...By holding the switch back I could get high beams on but it wouldnt stay in that position if I took my hands off it...Its like the light switch isnt clicking and holding in place...I have already checked the fuse box and cant find anything wrong there...Any advice so I can do some trouble shooting and avoid the mechanic tomorrow?
thanks

True...Whats weird is when the lights are on the switch is locked into that position....Then randomly they shut off (without touching anything) and the switch wont lock...Its hard to explain, but the switch is free to spin in either direction without clicking

Thats exactly what is going on....I'm really fluff'n pissed...This car is a lemon...A 25 thousand dollar lemon. In the past year this has happened, a strut has snapped (wasnt hard driving at all....), radio knob has fallen off and emergency break grip has lost its adhesive and spins....
I hate Chrysler and I will never buy from them again

If screwing with the switch is what makes the lights come back on, then it's not a fuse or the headlights themselves, it's the switch.

You could try to spray the switch with electrical contact cleaner....as long as the cleaner can get to the switch.
Probably the switch will need to be replaced.

Really? A short would blow a fuse, more than likely. Do you know what an electrical short is?

They either blow a fuse or burn something.

It really sounds like the switch is bad. It's not a short though, it's an "open" in the switch.

"Really?" Nuke's not believing the previous post. Not condescending to me.
"A short would blow a fuse, more than likely." Stating a fact according to his experience. Again, not condescending a bit.
"Do you know what an electrical short is?" Nuke asks a question. Hardly condescending.
If he wanted to be insulting he could have said, "Do you even know what an electrical short is?" That's condescending.
Some people need to grow thicker skin.

Well byebye is right on this matter. An electrical short circuit will result in an instant consumption of all electric current in the system limited only by the resistance of the wiring and the shorting point. This will lead either to a fire or a burned fuse, which one happens faster.
American cars are infamous for their electric wiring btw. You guys seem to have a whole different way of doing wiring in the cars.
Having said that, this kind of problems were common in W124 Mercedeses. The turn indicator roll switch used to burn itself out because no relay box was used in between - all of the current flows directly through the switch which will wear the switch out in the long run. Sometimes causing a short, melting the switch and/or just blowing the fuse.

Place various unregistered weapons in the trunk and a loaded one beside the drivers seat. purchase weed, crack and meth and straws, pipes..ect.
When yer lights go out speed up and lay on the horn until they come back on, swerving helps.

loose wire or connector somehwere. Good luck in your search and bring vaseline to the dealer, they dont supply it. You should take it to the dealer and write up a formal repair request form. Something like that will be investigated so long as they can be held accountable. I know you must still be under warranty?

ahhh, but do newer cars have dimmer switches anymore? I would have suggested that he check that cuz I had that problem before and it WAS the dimmer switch, but I think now they are just regular on the dash and brights on the blinker/windshield wiper//washer/rear window defogger/global positioning/power seat switch??
-
Newer cars have multiswitches. You know it as the turn signal, but it also houses the wipers and dimmer switch.
-
If that light switch is clearly not the same as it used to be(according to owner).
Why are we even having this discussion ?Start with that friking switch and see what else wrong.
