Head lights issue

[Sam_96GT]

While driving after lights been on a while the lights will randomly turn off and then back on
I cannot repeat the problem there fore having some hard times diagnosing
Anyone have or had a similar issue if so let me know what u did to fix it.

I already checked fuse to b loose and it's good along with ground being good and a new headlight switch.

Problem still there

HIDs or regular bulbs?

 

[Sam_96GT]

Regular. Halogens.


And do 295's. Fit on it also. I just wanna verifiy that they do

 

[Sam_96GT]

I mean 315

 

[joekd]

295/315 fit on what? The car itself? Yes, I had them on my car and they fit fine

Keep in mind though that different brand tires may be different tread width, my 315 sumi's were barely wider then my 275 BFG's

Back to your first topic, do only the headlights shut off or the dash lights too?

 

[Sam_96GT]

Just headlights
Corners are on and dash are on.

The ground to that Headlight circuit is tied in with the windshield wiper motor n my wipers still work when the headlights cut off that's why I'm thinking it's on the fire (+) side of the circuit.

 

[Sam_96GT]

Thanks about the quick info.
And yes my 96 gt
I have 18"s n really want the 315. I'm running 275 and I think look weak

look at the h/l sw electronical connector. they like to melt.

 

[Sam_96GT]

Break it down for me h/l sw connector

 

[CC'S95GT]

To access the head light sw you'll need to remove the guage cluster bezel. Then you can reach in and unplug the pwr to the h/l switch. To make it a lot easier, pull the cluster too.
Look in the end of the connector. it's probably melted.

does it happen when you hit the turn signal or switch your brights on/off?

 

[Sam_96GT]

No I cannot repeat the problem

I had this happen on my 99 V6 when I had it. It was during a long trip. I was on my way back from Detroit to Indiana. At first they would flash on and off randomly. Then finally they just went out entirely. I didn't have high beams either, but if I pulled the combo switch towards me, I could get the high beams to come on. I drove back back nearly 250 miles on the interstate holding the combo stick the whole way. That sucked! It turned out to be the connector that hooked up the to headlight switch. It had gotten hot, melted and shorted something out. I had to cut the whole thing off, get a new connector from a junker car, and splice all of those wires back together.

 

[Sam_96GT]

No I cannot repeat the problem

 

[Sam_96GT]

Well I'ma take. Another good look at it and see what I can find check for burns or anything thanks for the information

Anyone know of a good place to dyno tune in the Houston area those mail in custom tunes are complete shit and i don't recommend one to anyone

 

[Sam_96GT]

Thanks a lot fellow sn95 members.
I pulled the switch out and sure enough the harness itself was burnt up

I just need a replacement
If anyone from Houston has one please pm me and let me know.
