Some Chevrolet Cavalier owners report experiencing recurring headlight burnout issues attributed to scraped pigtail connections, which can disrupt electrical flow and cause malfunctions. Additionally, moisture entering the headlight housing is another common problem that can lead to bulb burnout. Faulty wiring, damaged switches, or relays may also contribute to these frequent burnouts, highlighting the importance of inspecting the wiring harness for any damage or loose connections. To prevent these issues, owners are advised to regularly check for loose wires, corroded connections, and poor ground connections in the headlight assembly, as well as promptly address any burnt-out bulbs. If scraped pigtail connections are suspected, inspecting and replacing them may be necessary to ensure proper electrical flow and prevent future burnouts.
