Headlight problems, but not the usual one

[Pyrokid]

Ok, so I did a bit of searching and couldn't find anything on my problem.

Most S13 owners have the problem of headlights not opening or closing. Well, mine apparently open and close on their own. Now unfortunately I'm 400 miles away from my car. I got a phone call last week from my dad and he said "So I looked out into the snow and you're car was blinking" He disconnected my battery and left it at that.

So obviously I want to fix this problem, any ideas of what could be wrong?

My co worker said my car blinked a few times a few weeks ago at work, but hes not exactly all there so I'm not sure if it did or not.

But I am having massive problems from where my tire rubbed through my driver side body harness, and even though I soldered in new wires, some how its still screwed up but my head lights don't blink any more as far as I know.

Check your chassis harnesses for points where a tire might have rubbed it or its rubbing against the body.

It sounds like your combination switch is shorting out or your headlight timer is going bad. I have a headlight timer out and am trying to find it cheaper than the dealer cuz I can't afford it. start with the easy stuff, fuses and relays. If the relays click that does not necessarily mean its good. Check continuity when circuit Is open and closed(you have to open and close circuit manually by powering pin 1 and grounding pin two.) The top of the relay should tell you witch pins should have continuity when relay is opened or closed. The pins are numbered on the inside in small print.

Ok, I'll defiantly check that first when I get home, hopefully that's not the problem, I don't feel like dealing with that much wiring.

Well, I do have a little bit of money right now, so I should be able to afford something through the dealership (hopefully). I'm really hoping it's something simple like a relay or a switch, I kind of need headlights

if you cant fix your problem you can do what i did when i couldnt fix my headlights just unplug the motors and manual crank them to the up position and they will stay there, sure they wont go down but atleast they'll stay up when you need them

If you do check your relays make sure you check all 4 for the headlight motor. If there isn't a sticky here to test relays let me know and ill make one.
