When driving with headlights on, the headlights sometimes flicker when using the turn signal stalk, occasionally going out until the stalk is jiggled. This happens repeatedly.
Headlights flash off or stay off when using the turn signals. At night when changing lanes or turning corners the headlights sometimes go off for a moment when engaging the left or right turn signal lever. Also the headlights sometimes turn off and stay off when completing a turn when the turn signal automatically turns off. One needs to jog the turn signal lever to get the headlights back on. This can be recreated when parked simply by operating the turn signals. This is an intermittent problem whether moving or parked. This problem seems to be independent of weather, speed or road conditions. I have seen many complaints and examples of this condition on you tube.
Headlight flicker off when using the turn signal, stays off for 1-2 seconds. Light switch is in the on position. This happened with me driving at night and making a left turn, very scary !!! was driving in a city, but it has happen driving out in the country. I think the problem is a fault in the light switch turn signal assembly.
