| Headlights will randomly turn off and on or just completely off. simply pushing on the headlight switch can reproduce the problem. the fix is to replace the headlight switch. i disassembled the old switch, and the problem is that the surface mount component of the switch came loose on one corner and allowed intermittent contact with the circuit. epoxy would probably have fixed it, but for $40, i just replaced the part myself. an internet search indicates this is a common problem with several other vehicles as well likely using the same part. | |||
