Aurora 1998 headlights flicker, car is off

[mbatelaan]

I recently purchased this car for my daughter, she parks in the driveway and I notice the head lights blinking in the driveway for no reason. Doesnt matter if it is day or night and sometimes it drains the battery. It has a twilight switch and it can be all the way on, off, or in the middle, no change. There is also a slight clicking noise that comes from the general area of the twilight switch/blinker area, seems like it may be a short but I would like to be fairly educated about the problem before bringing it in for service. Any ideas??

this has been covered numerous times. it is probably the stick that is used to turn the headlight on and off. check other threads.

99% sure it's control lamp module. It's located directly on the side of the steering column. Connected onto a white plastic bracket. I had this same exact problem and it's very random. After enough money spent that was my last resort and it worked. I wish someone gave me this advice $500 ago.
