| Description of the problem | About march of 2018 i noticed my headlights started acting up. I would turn my blinker on and once the turn was complete and the blinker turned off, my headlights would go off. Very scary when it is so dark outside. It didn't happen again until about march of 2019. Now it happens all the time. And it happens when i am not using my blinker. I am just driving down the street in the dark and my headlights go out (even the indicator on my dash that tells me the lights are on goes off). I have to jiggle the blinker handle to get them to come back on. Sometimes they blink on and off as well. This is very scary as i go to work when it is still dark out. This happens every day now. |
