Aerostar head lights

The headlights of my ´93 Aerostar started blinking on and off randomly, so that my car looks like a disco at night, flashing its lights on and off, which is not only annoying but also dangerous. Sometimes it behaves well for a few hours, and then it starts again.

It only affects the headlights, not the dashboard or the other front or rear lights. I checked the fuses and they are not loose or anything. Could it be a problem with the light switch?

Any clues?

Axel

This seems to be a fairly standard problem with the Stars. It can be anything from a loose connection to a bad light switch. You should use the search function and will find numerous postings with lots and lots of help.

On the upper bar click on search and type in what you wish to find. It will then list the entries which contain the info. The search function is between new post and quick links.

I had a simular problem with my 70 Camero. The Highway patrol poled me over one night to point out a burned out head light. I said thats odd because it was on just a few moments before when I left a friends house. I could see it on his garage door. I got out looked, hit the hood over the light and it came on. He said get it fixed. as I drove on home I noticed my lights would alternate when I hit bumps and some itmes no lights. The fix was to take apart the connectors and then clean the terminals with emery cloth. This my be your problem too.

Is there a solenoid in the headlight circuit? Failing solenoids usually react this way connecting and disconnecting the circuit.
