Headlight Intermittent

strick22 · 01-11-2019, 10:21 PM

Folks,

From time to time, my headlight will simply quit. I'll pull the bolts, take it off, and then with it in my hand, it comes on. Once I get it back in place and bolted down, it'll be good for a few days. Then, same thing all over again.

What gives. 2008 Precedent, 48V.

Sounds like the contacts in the bottom of the bulb receptacle or a short starting in the light harness.....

Check the ground wiring in the harness.

Make sure it is not grounded to the chassis but has a separate ground wire going back to the reducer.

Led or halogen?

Could have an internal break in the wiring near the light. Try wiggling the wire harness if/when it happens again.
