Default Low beam headlight intermittent
Hi, my low beam headlight is intermittent - some times it's on, some times it's off. I have the headlights switch on to automatic.
It's on a 2009 Corvette. I replaced the headlight, didn't solve the problem. Could it be a bad ballast?
Any other suggestions?
thanks,
steve

Headlights are typically powered off an auto reset breaker. My first thought is something in the headlight circuit is drawing excess current. Could also be the breaker itself. Could also be a a faulty harness connector......

After 15 years, it's very likely you're due for a replacement ballast.
