Headlights malfunctioning
Needs some help with headlights turning randomly off and on. Wiring harness appears fine. The problem seems to come from the fuse box? Would replacement the whole box help? All other electronics are working normally.
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!

If the symptom is that when the headlight switch is on, the lights go off - on - off (repeat), that is likely the circuit breaker built in to the light switch. It is there to keep you from loosing all headlights at night in the event of a short circuit or other overload of the light circuit. A common cause is installing much higher demand headlight bulbs (e.g., halogen) that overload the circuit. If your system is stock, then it does sound like either an intermittent connection or a fault in either the headlight switch or the dimmer switch.
