Hi I have a 02 sunfire and the headlights flicker when you pull it out of park and then shut off and the service light comes on. Checked wires are good, fuses good, and replacing multifunction switch and issue still appears. Have high beams and no low, drl will work with the key fob but not while driving, DTC code is p0480 and cannot fix issue any sugestions.
 
It sounds like you have several problems and are lumping them together in one neat little package.

the code p0480 refers to the cooling fan

here is a link that may help you with that.

as far as the head lights flickering start with basics

Do you have a good battery and good connections with no corrosion at the terminal ends.

Is the alternator charging?

Which switch did you replace? and why?

The headlights should be easy to figure out what is going on, measure the voltage to the headlights and check the grounds to the head lights as well.

the DRL , what is this? are we supposed to understand your short hand?

If you want help take the time to spell out each word.

What you have wrote makes me believe that you should bring your car in to a shop for diagnostics and repairs.

to fix these issues you will need a factory service manual a DVOM a Computer safe test light and basic hand tools.

Once you have the needed tools and manual let us know and I will continue to help you.

If not wait for other that may pitch in with vehicle specific data that may be of use to you.
