| Description of the problem | Driver side headlight only works at random times, it will come on and a few seconds later it goes out. Most times it doesn't work at all. Last week i had a new switch installed that was on an extended warranty, the light worked for one (1) day and was out again yet i was told the switch was bad that they removed. Happens when moving or stationary, leaving driveway. If the vehicle sets a while sometimes it will come on and stay on most times it just doesn't work. I consider this a safety issue because i don't know when the other headlight will go out. This has been going on since aug. 2018. I replace the bulb and it works for 3 months then starts over again working randomly |
