Brights don't Shut off - G6 Pontiac Cars & Trucks

charge up your battery.

SOUNDS LIKE A RELAY PROBLEM.
AND YES THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF WHEN USING HIGH BEAMS
THAT IS NORMAL IN ANY VEHICLE.
CHECK FOR A HIGH BEAM RELAY THAT COULD BE THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEM GOOD LUCK

check your fuses

No oil condition and did it overheat? When you shut it off,why did you shut it
off. What was the problem? If it's out of oil,the lifters go flat and the engine shakes and dies,maybe permanently. More info, please. don-ohio

Need more info. Was vehicle running great! Had it overheated?Had you been adding oil? What engine do you have and how many miles? Things like this help us immensely to narrow down the problem. don-ohio (:^)

check your fuse box. High beams (brights) usually have their own fuse. Otherwise it could be a problem with your switch (i assume its one of the arms behind your steering wheel) buyt i would pull the fuse first. Refer to the diagram for your specific car. fuses are cheap and you can tell theyre blown when you pull them out (a break in the fuse)

Try swapping Relays #45 & #46 in the underhood fuse box. #46 is for the low beams.

You need to check to see if your getting power to the starter.This would be the purple wire at the starter.Needs to have at least 9 volts or more.Also make sure the battery is good.You can have the battery,charging and staring system checked at Auto Zone for free.If you don`t have a way of checking the starter then try tapping it with a hammer while someone cranks the engine.If it starts it is the starter.Hope this helps.Good luck.

try checking the switch that turns normal lights to brights make sure there is no wire being grounded out

Your bright bulbs are probably burn out. And yes they can both burn out at the same time, its rare but not as rare as some think
