I've had a problem with my 1972 Mach 1 with the headlights kind of blinking or rather fast flickering like there is a loose connection somewhere.
I checked the back of both headlights and as much of the wiring harness as I could get to but didn't find anything loose. Anyone have any ideas?
Maybe it's the headlight switch? As is, the dimmer works poorly, so I just picked up a replacement switch from the Mustang Project (along with some cool blue LEDs for the instrument cluster).
The headlight switch was only $19.95 (part #D3ZZ-11654-A 71-72) so I figured, "what the heck". Plus I'll have instrument cluster out to replace the bulbs so I might as well do a new switch while I'm there...
Does anyone know how to get the old switch out? Does it screw in, clip in? What's the trick?
Any suggestions as to what else may be making the lights flicker? I already took out and cleaned the high beam floor switch and its connector without any improvement.
