Headlight problems
I've got a 69 RS/SS that's having a strange headlight problem. Since it's my first post, allow me to introduce you to my mistress:
When I first bought the car there were some electrical problems, sometimes it wouldn't turn over (not even click the starter), so I had my favorite mechanic re-do most of the electrical.
I was out cruising lastnight when all of a sudden my headlights turned off. I pushed the floor pedal and got nothing. After letting the car sit for a little while they turned back off. I drove around my neighborhood for about an hour and they turned on and back off sporadically. Hard accelerating and turns really had no effect on it. So, my question is what might be causing this? Relay, switch, loose connection? Where should I start. Thanks for any input!
