Headlights going CrAzY
My headlights have started to go crAZY.
Sometimes only the left head light would come on. Sometimes the only the right headlight would come on and sometimes niether of them would come on.
I try not to drive at night but when I must I have to turn the Highbeams on then only the left highbeam will come on. I know both headlights will work it just a matter of something going crazy somewhere else.
Any suggestions on what I should do?

Do a search on headlight motors, there are lots of threads that show exactly how to fix your problem. You have 3 nylon bearings in each motor that wearout over time.
They are not related, did you check the fuses?
Is it a stock radio or aftermarket, does it turn on and no sound?
Need more info on this one.

The problem is not the motors. They are both opening and closing fine. When I turn the lights on they open up just fine the problem is they have trouble lighting. Sometimes the will and sometimes they wont.
I have already done a search. The motors work just fine. it is the stock radio. I replaced the capacitors in all of the speakers and 2 of them worked, so I know the actual radio works but something is happening where the radio is frying the amps and it will not work. So I have had the radio on at one time.
Then the AC went out and I found that the CTSY fuse was blowing so it came down to either having the AC on or trying to use the radio. But since the speakers have blown again I can not use the radio. If I try to use both the fuse blows every time.

I dont supposse you could tell me where my ground circuits are could you?
I am eager to get solve these electrical prblems which have been haunting me every since I got the car. But when it comes to electrical stuff I need a little more help.

OK I have located the problem. The wire that comes out of the headlight and connects to the other wires (where they clip together) is the problem. There seems to be a bad connection in the female/male attaching pieces.
What do I do? Do I cut them out and reconnect them? Are there new connection pieces I could buy?
