Intermittent Headlights
Intermittent Headlights
A few times now, my lights wouldn't go on - headlights, interior lights, nothing illuminates. Then I'll try it again later & they work. Since there is only one way to turn them on, it's not operator error Tried searching for this subject, found nothing. Any ideas? If it matters, it happened when it was cold (early a.m. frost) & another time with light drizzle & cool weather. I know everything will work perfectly if I bring it to the dealer.

If it is a problem that is possible for all models I would post it in the specific forum - Exterior and Lighting - otherwise it could just die here.

Thank you for moving it. I knew someone would nail me for something, especially the old guy!
We checked the lists on both fuseboxes but could not figure out which fuse was for the lights linked to the headlight switch. Would appreciate input. Do fuses go out a little at a time? I thought they either worked or didn't.

I'll keep my idea on your problem to myself if you like.
Re: Intermittent Headlights
A call to the dealer today pretty much told me what I already knew: unless I can show them the lights aren't working, there's nothing they can do except poke around for an hour or hour & a half, & if they don't find anything, the cost is on me. You'd think with 2 active warranties... Apparently, they can't take a customer's word that there is a problem. I told him either the switch works or it doesn't, since there really isn't room for error. So I'll have to try the lights over a nd over during the day when they are open & jet over to the service dept when the lights aren't working to SHOW them they're not working.
I guess I could drive a Stealth Crossfire for real. You don't see me, but I don't see you either!
