problem need help

Whenever im driving my car for over like ten minutes, the lights start going on and off in like 3 second intervals. I just changed the alternator 2 weeks ago so idk what it could be. Any advice would be great . Thanks

It sounds like your headlight switch is bad.

RE: problem need help

It sounds like a short somewhere.Did you ever have this problem before you changed the alt? If not the problem lies in there.....Maybe a bad alt or switch....Good luck

RE: problem need help

Take out you turn signal switch and headlight switch and you will see the melted connectors. Change those switches and plugs and youll be good. Ive seen this a ton of times i worked at a ford dealer.
