My headlights are winking at me!
The passenger side headlight was dragging when I switched them on, and then it opened fully as I switched them off.
All of a sudden the lights began working alternately, and now i don't know how to correct this.
any assistance appreciated!
thanks

Step 1--unplug the relays and use some spray contact cleaner (e.g., Wurth Kontact OL or Radio Shack TV Tuner Cleaner) on the posts of the relay and the holes in the relay socket. Use an X-acto knife blade (or similar) to open up the slots in the relay posts slightly to make the posts fit tighter in the socket.

Give that a try and see if it helps. If not, then check the grounds--there's one inside each front fender well, I think. Clean those connections up (you may need a wire brush or a putty knife or something similar).

Those are the "simple things" that I can think of. After that, you dig out the multimeter and the wiring diagram and start checking what wires have voltage and what ones don't.
