Loose headlight switch

[hardtopte72]

First off I searched this forum and Google extensively.

Now I worked as a Toyota Tech for 3 years and have seen nearly everything that can go wrong on a given Toyota but this one I have never seen.

On my 09 Camry LE most of the time at least once or twice when driving at night with the headlights in AUTO mode if you go to hit the turn signals to switch lanes or make a turn the switch will change to either the off position or on position. This is especially annoying as if you do not realize the headlights are on you can park and leave them on draining your battery. I have driven plenty (hundreds) of Gen 6 Camry's and have never experienced this. Just wondering if you guys have dealt with this before. My Corolla switch has never so much as hinted at moving although it only stays in the off position since DRL are always active but anyway.

Thanks.

If I am going to replace the switch might as well opt for the XLE/SE switch for my fog upgrade.

I had a bad experience with a GM van. The cruise control is in the stalk attached to the turn signals. I would set the cruise speed, drive a few miles, stop and turn, then try to resume the previously set speed. The results were one of the following;

1 Normal,
2 No response (I had to reset the set point),
3 Pedal to the floor and speeds in excess of 90 miles an hour.

The switch was replaced and no further problems.... Poor assembly and shorting when the cable was wiggled.

Replace your switch, and double check the grounds to that switch (tight and secure).
