Default headlight switch

Anyone have a problem with the steering column headlight switch? I ahve a 2001 Millenia and the headlight/directional switch must have a short or loose wire or something. When I go to put my directional on sometimes it causes my headlight to go off.

Default RE: headlight switch

Most likely headlamp relay or it can be a burnt harness or wire to the headlamp... Check your wires... If in case that it was the relay I would suggest removing the relay and repairing it. This is what I did and it fixed my Honda headlight/lamp problem for the total cost of an hour's time. I removed the single screw attaching the relay to the fender well then using a flathead screwdriver carefully unplug the two electrical plugs that connect to the relay. Then I pryed the enclosure apart using a couple of very small flathead screwdrivers to reveal the circuit board inside. Then I took my soldering iron and heated each solder joint on the back of the circuit board (there are like 20 of them). I noticed one joint was not soldered very well so I added a small bit of solder to it. Put it back together with a little clear silicone to weatherproof the enclosure, plugged it back in and reinstalled the relay with the retainer screw. You might also simply try unplugging the two electrical plugs connecting to the relay, then plug them back in as these connectors sometimes develop a small amount of corrosion on them. If this doesn't fix it then I would investigate the headlamp/light switch, but only as a last resort. Good luck!
