flashing high beam indicator (98)

[mickstereen]

I have 98 Achieva that had burnt out both of the headlamps. I replaced them and now whenever you start up the car, the headlights flash on and off (as well as the high beam indicator) and continue to do so until I turn on the headlites manually. Any suggestions?

our 98 almost always had blinking indicator in the dash with the car running, except for a couple or few days

coudl not figure out why and when the IPC gets back to here form southern after its repair i will see if it still does that or not

i thought ours was the only one doing that

interesting

god luck

got the IPC back from southern after they rebuilt it and the indicator never has come on, neither have any other lights, all is well the car runs and drives like a brand new one the car is fixed yay


good luck

I think I found my problem. I recently installed new bulbs in both headlites. Just realized the high beam did not work on the left. Checked it out and when I initially installed that bulb I compressed the part between the bulb and the mounting part. Replaced the bulb and it works just fine now.
