More Problems With The Head Lights

SCHOONER · 10-23-2005, 11:40 PM

Hey Guys

It's me AGAIN ! ! !

Here's the deal.

My head light stay on for about a minute or so. Then they go out for about 10 seconds.+ there's no rythem or reason to the on and off of it.

It seems the lights have a mind of their own.

Don't know what to do with this one

I put in all new wiring in the car.

I didn't replace the voltage regulator. And I looked at the alternator and it looks like the original. It's a '66 'stang ~ 289 cid.

I only have the car since Father's Day.
I'm new at fixin' cars. But with all your help I'm getting there little by slowly

Just tell me what to check and test and I'm there.

Whatever suggestions in fixing this problem will be grately appreciated.

THANKS GUYS

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Do the lights blink on and off when then darn well please?? Sounds like the headlamp switch is bad and the internal thermal circuit breaker is popping.

Replace the switch.

From raining Orlando, FL....trying to stay dry. Ducking Wilma !!!

I remember my buddy's 68 doing that. Would work fine, then just flip off. We pulled it over and sat for a while to let things cool. It got us home, then... but scary as hell....
