Headlight Problem Please Help.
I'm having a problem I'm guessing my light switch went out. When I turn my lights on I get that beeping sound it makes when u leave the lights on and the ignition off. I'm assuming my switch went bad? Any help would be great thanks I need my lights to work.

Don’t Turn Your Lights On, Save Fuel !
You say When I turn my lights on so you’re not saying they don’t go on therefore your switch is good.
So the problem is the chime.
It can be caused by the small switch in the steering column not changing states when the key is inserted, or a bad connection going to it.
To find out, connect a voltage protected ohmmeter from pin B light green wire of the Audio Alarm Assembly to ground.
The Audio Alarm Assembly is located in the ‘Convenience Center’, which is to the right of the steering column.
Keep your door open for this test.
Now insert and remove the key.
When you do that you will see the ohmmeter go to 0Ω when you insert the key,
then to a higher reading when the key is removed, if the switch and wiring is intact.
