Re: headlights shutting off
well i pulled out the HL switch. the connector and switch did not have any visible warping/melting/heat damage. see the pics i attached. so i guess i gotta change the multi switch? is that 100% my problem?
and is it necessary to pull the steering wheel of in my 90 GT? thanks.

Re: headlights shutting off
You're in good shape dude. In that first pic labeled "Time to change this?" Yep. But now the good news. I was thinking my body style, and not thinking your car is newer. Leave the steering wheel on there. See that little torx head screw? Take that out, and the other one on the bottom of the switch. Check around, not positive if there are any more or not. Should come right off though!

Re: headlights shutting off
Thanks for all the info Jester and everyone else. The new ford part is $80. I just picked a used one up on ebay for $10, we'll see what happened. If it doesnt work I'll buy another for $10. This worked for my mirror switch........$5 on ebay vs. $40+ new. I'll post results when I get it and install it. Thanks.

Re: headlights shutting off
got therused multifunction switch today in the mail from ebay, after getting those annoying 3 harness connecter off the multifunction switch, i changed it and it worked! I CAN DRIVE AT NIGHT AGAIN W/O BLINDING PEOPLE with my brights! it was fun while it lasted.............
now, i noticed that one of the 3 connectors had a lot of melting/heat damage. i attached 3 pics. i believe this connector is for the headlights. i blame this, as well as the 1 damaged connector that plugs into the headlight bulb (i replaced it), on those stupid 80w/100w bulbs that were in there in the past. i reused this damaged connector since i had no replacement and it still works. should i change this one day or "if it aint broke dont fix it?"

Re: headlights shutting off
Change is when you get a minute. Put a fire extinguisher in your car until then.
 That's not something to take a chance on buddy.
