This started about a week ago. At night, when I turn on my headlights, only the left light goes on. If the brights are engaged, they both go on, but when I switch back to low beams, the right one goes out.
When I hit the horn, the right one goes on. I've duplicated this several times.
If I turn the lights off and turn them back on, it's still on. It doesn't happen again until the next day.
No, I am not making this up, nor am I trolling. I am totally serious.
I have three theories on this:
1. The filament is loose in the bulb, and the act of honking the horn knocks it into place. All I need to do is buy a new bulb.
2. There is a loose connecting and the act of honking the horn knocks it into place. All I need to do is check the connections.
I don't think either of these are the cases as driving doesn't seem to have any effect. Which leads to:
3. There is some weird electrical failure happening, the act of honking the horn triggers something that sends the current to the bulb.
I was discussing this at a friend's house last night (upon leaving I demonstrated the problem for him!) and he thought that since both the lights and the horn are associated with the alarm that the problem could be there.
Any thoughts ?
