headlight problem
Saturday, September 24, 2005 1:17 PM
Ok heres the deal guys, lets get the experts on this one. Everytime I go over a bump my left headlight goes out. Then when i go over another bump it comes back on. I've replaced the bulbs a couple times, there is no corrosion on the connectors and they are secured well, so could this be from the drl relay? Or what do you guys think, any suggestions would be helpful.

also if it is the relay, how much do they cost?

btw, 2003 cav ls sport 4door

Ya know...I had something similar, but just driving normally all my lights would shut off. The fist time it happened I was in the middle of a bridge with no lights at 8 pm. Thankfully they came on in about 10 seconds. It ended up being the light switch that had to be replaced for me.

I would tend to believe if the plug going to light itself was faulty u could see,the poor contact its not making maybe.But if the relay was faulty it would affect BOTH sides not just the left or right .Those cheap headlight switches are typically the culprit on most Js with headlights not working or come on then go off or not work at all.
