Flashin Lights

Got a problem with my 84 Bronco. Headlights will work fine until they heat up, then both low and high beams will constantly flash on and off. I will turn them off and let them cool, and they will work fine. Don't know what to do!

Blinking Headlights

Hi,

Change the headlight switch. There's a circuit breaker in the switch. When they get weak, they open & close, open & close, etc. etc. etc. While you're changing the switch, you will probably have to change the connector also--they always overheat & melt. Most auto parts supply stores can get the connector.
