Head light trouble!!!
I replaced the head light switch today.... I allready have done the gt head light fix... Evrything worked really good untill a couple of days ago it started acting up... My head lights come on and work normal and everything but my interior dash lights will flicker on and off.....
I hear a relay under the dash some where come on and go off sounds funny...
My question is where the hell is it do i have to take anything apart to get to it????
What kind of relay is it???? Is it my headlight relay that I have heard stories about over heating exc?????
Any help is appreciated!!!!!

IKE- it's your headlight switch- it's trying to make contact, but losing it. You'll need to cycle the switch repeatedly (ALOT!)- the company that makes the replacement switches uses a sh!tload of grease in their assemblies...and it sometimes gets in the contacts.

I tried the switch thing I flicked it on and off a buch no change!!!! Has anyone changed out that relay before??? I have heard stories of a relay overheting in there or something.... I believe that it may have internally shorted or something in that nature...
Now I have turned on my lights before with the key off and my fuel pump has come on WTF!!!
