My 1993 Accord DX has 193.000 miles.

Yesterday while driving at night the headlights and only the headlights suddenly shut off. Ten minutes later they came back on. Then shut off again, then back on again. I could use my flashers and blinkers. Tailights fine.

High beams would not work when headlights were out but did work when headlights came back on.

No other electical problem.

Side note. About a week ago, when starting to use heater, i noticed some fan noise.

I am scheduled to bring car into mechanic later this afternoon. Can I fix it myself, seems like a loose connection perhaps?

What to do?

By the way I submitted a donation of $2. but got a little confused by the web site navigation to get back to the question page and not sure if it gets submitted to the right forum now.

Hi there,

Thank you for your donation

It sounds like there may be a circuit breaker in the system, that is like a fuse that re sets it self. I don't have a wiring diagram to hand just now, but if your mechanic has any problems, Re post or I.M. me and i will see what i can find out.
