What owners wrote
2005 chevrolet monte carlo lt with 3.8l v6 driving home a few hours after purchasing the car the headlights went out. The parking lights and fog lights under the bumper remained on. I started slowing down and used the multi function switch to turn on the high beams and the lights came back on. I brought this to the dealer's attention, after inspecting the vehicle they believe that the multi function switch must be replaced.
