Headlights blink on & off

Last night as I was driving with my driving lights on and my headlights on low beam, my headlights go off then on. I turned off the driving lights and the headlights worked fine. Anybody know why they do this?

Re: Headlights blink on & off

Do you have aftermarket driving lights? They may draw to much current for your headlight switch to handle. If they are aftermarket, power them through a relay that is energized by your low beam circuit. If everything is factory, replace the headlight switch.

If it's a '93, check with Ford to see if the headlamp switch was replaced under recall and if not, take it to them to have it done.
