Hey guies my headlights will randomly turn off and then back on? do you think its the switch? and are they known to go bad?

 

does it do it only when driving, or will the lights cut off while the truck is sitting still??
either way it is probably the switch, a loose ground, or a loose connection where the switch plugs in

 

If you have a tilt wheel,, It could have a broken wire near the MFS........

 

it only does it when i am driving. When i hit bumps it gets worse but dosnt act up all the time?

 

I forgot 2 mention.You know how you push the directional lever foward to put high beams on? Well when my lights shut off randomly i can pull the directional level backwards and the lights will come one?? But when the lights work and i go to put it into high beam they will shut off.......

 

Sounds like it may be in the hi-lo beam switch. Is it loose? Do the blinkers act up also?

 

i had the same problem when i bought my truck i drove it like that for a month until i couldnt take it anymore. my problem was the switch on the dash. i changed it out in the parking lot at advanced auto zone. fixed ever since.

 

ok thanks guys i think its the switch as well. how much is the switch does anyone know?

 

its been awhile but i think around 30 ish. the most noticable thing on the switch was there was a burnt look on the back. good luck its not to hard to get to. all u need is a 1/4" socket set and your set

 

ok thanks man i appreciate it
