Intermittent headlight malfunction

[Finnegan]

Hi all,

In the last week I've had two occasions when the headlights (low beams) failed to come on. The first time, they did come on by themselves after a few seconds. The second time, they came on after a few minutes of driving.

All the other light functions are working. Parking lights, high beams, turn signals all ok.

I assume that because they did eventually come on, it is not a fuse issue? So is this the switch going out?

Thanks,

Yes. I'm about 99.5% certain it's the switch.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Before you replace the switch, I recommend that you consider cleaning it with electrical contact cleaner.
