Description of the problem | Vehicle headlights failed to illuminate on activation of the headlight circuit via control stalk. Lights would flicker in a specific pattern then go dark. Activating high beam circuit repeated the cycle with high beam illumination. Complete reset of electrical system (battery disconnected for hour +) would clear up the issue for ~2-3 hours of operation before problem resumed. Required dealer replacement of tipm as headlight control circuit is a part of that module. Tipm was on backorder when problem first surfaced, leading me to believe that this model of tipm may be the source of the issue. Vehicle was undrivable for commute during early morning/evening hours due to lack of forward illumination. All other vehicle lighting and accessories functioned correctly. |
