So last night after going to the desert I was on my way home and noticed while I'm driving that the high beams were randomly flashing on for a half second or so then going off without me touching the blinker/high beam lever. I can't figure it out can someone please help :gotme :wtf2: it never did thus until last night. I didn't drive the piss out of it in the desert. Just cruised it so I don't know why it could be doing this. PLEASE HELP ME! I'm afraid of flashing a cop when I'm driving at night. I noticed it only does it while driving. I had it parked running for a while with the lights on and it didn't do it.

Check the headlight stalk/ combo switch you'll have to pull the covers off the steering column and you'll be able to get to the switch. Check the wiring to it with the lights on and see if it flickers you may have a loose wire or possibly something is up with the contact patches in the actual switch...

Sorry for the late update but I ended up changing the drivers side headlight socket. It was burnt up and shorting out causing it to flash the highbeams. So all fix and good. Ready for another night in the desert. :woot: :mike :inoutgay:
