Default Headlight Flicker

I just noticed an intermittent headlight flicker. Never saw it before, but it has me concerned, I would hate to lose headlights when on a trip. No other "failures" and it only ocurred a couple of times. Anyone have ideas?

Check the battery connection. If it happens when you push the window buttons then it's normal.

My 99 did that a couple weeks ago. It also had a few other electrical tweaks like the passenger seat motor going on and off by itself, telescopic steering not working. The problem was the positive battery connection was corroded. Cleaned it up and it is good as new. P.S. While your looking, check for the dreaded leaking battery.
