I have a very strange problem. My headlights work fine until I start the motor. Specifically, with the ignition all the way on, but the engine off, the headlights work as expected. With the engine running they will not come on at all. If the headlights are on and I start the motor they turn off, but stay in the upright position.
Ideas? |

Best price on an OEM unit I've found is $92. The aftermarket is $8. I've ordered both, but that is one hell of a price differential.

Lots of work and down time compared to the cost. |
