My headlights have a bad habit of going dark randomly. When I pull out the headlight switch, the lights will pop up - sometimes taking a second or two. The lights may or may not turn on. If the lights turn on, after a few seconds or minutes they will go out. Turning on the high beams will sometimes get the lights back on. Sometimes they come back on themselves after a few minutes or seconds. Repeat.
Any ideas? If your answer is a bad ground, please tell me where I can find the grounds related to the headlights! |

Just a suggestion, try wiggle each wire connected to the headlight motor, I accidentally found a broken wire on my car this way. I noticed the headlight intermittently doesn’t come up but all the wires and connections seem intact. This is until I touch one of the wire and it come completely detached, broken clean at the terminal. John |
