Description of the problem | When activating turn signals the headlights go out. This seems to happen only when headlights are set auto. Returning the turn signal stalk back to the neutral position seems to correct this and also moving the switch from auto to on. The headlights go out while driving on city streets and highways, and while stationary on the city streets or in parking lots. Since i am the primary driver i am familiar with the problem but when my wife drives the van i remind her about the problem in case it should happen to her. My daughter will be driving soon and a young driver may not know what to do when the headlights go and they may panic causing a problem. Just tonight i found that when the parking lights were put on the drivers front light flickers and then goes out. I repeated this process for several cycles and it did it every time. This is something new that i was not aware of until tonight |
