headlights?

[code14]

Hello all,
My headlights don't seem to want to stay on... I'm guessing a connection is loose somewheres. You guys have any idea where I should start looking?

If I signal or even hit a bump in the road or something they just shut off on me...

Ok, thanks in advance!

Check the relay first, then connectors, then start checking grounds and wires.

I had that problem with my headlight switch as well. With your lights on wiggle the switch and see if it effects anything.

I don't know if you can repair the switch itself. I got mine off this forum for under 50 bucks. Replacing it was easy, didn't need a steering wheel puller. It was just like 4 screws on the back of the steering wheel and 4 screws for the switch assemble. Then the big nut to remove the wheel, leave the nut partially threaded on then whack the wheel with a rubber mallet. Leaving the nut threaded keeps the wheel from flying off but lets it become loose.
