    Has anyone ever had their headlights and dash go dark randomly?

    Was driving down a dark road last night, hit my turn signal and my headlights and dash went out. Came back on a few moments later..

    headlight switch ON (not on auto)

    Loose or bad fuse? I'd probably start there.

    Didn't think of that.

    Im about to head out and dig into it and see if there's any possible rodent damage. Thats the only thing I can think of at this point.

    Did this happen after you installed different headlights?

    I seen another thread here where someone mentioned a similar issue. Turned out to be the stalk which seems right inline with where your issue presented itself. Do a search, I think there was a recall on a bad batch.

    Wish that was the case. I changed out the bulbs last year but that's about it.
