(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) So sometimes when I switch the headlights on , they will begin to oscilate, wink, blink... as one comes up the other goes down and they will continue to do this until I switch them off (they both go to the off/down position). Then if I switch them on again, they will operate normally. I've swapped relays by the headlights; but made no difference.
Any ideas or thoughts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |

Check the relay's first. I had the same problem. I just cleaned the relay's and sockets with contact cleaner and they were fine after that. If that does not work, try chasing bad grounds.
Good luck. Eddy |
