Signal, DRL, headlight possible ground issue???

[northshoremb]

I have a 97 Sunfire GT and have been having some problems lately. First it started by all lights works then in a 1 week span my low beams and DRL didnt work but Highs and signals work. Then all worked for a day except DRL's and now the signals dont work but the others do. I have to get a mechanical and the autoshop says that there might be a ground issue under the battery box or could be the actual light/signal switch. They never looked at it yet but say they heard of issues like this with the Sunfires before.
I just want any of your insite about people facing an issue like this and if you found the problem and fixed it. Thanx

Had that problem with my daugther's '96.
Checked the harness, and found no problems.
I replaced the stalk/switch, and all was corrected.(All major chain parts stores have them)

I had the identical problem with 01 Sunfire it is 100 percent ground issue. wire guage is too thin so u will probably find many breaks in the wire harness up front. check near the plug under the intake.

I have a 97 sunfire also, had the same prob as you. Sounds dumb but check the fuses. This car has 2 headlight fuses if one burns out all hell breaks loose. Hope this helps.
