headlight issues
I've noticed lately, that sometimes the headlights seem to dim for a split second, and then go back. Not even long enough to see it on the ammeter.
Outside air temp has no effect, nor does vehicle speed. the dimming isn't consistent either (as far as time between dimming).
Any ideas ???

If you don't use your brights much it could be the multi-funtion switch (turn signal) is dirty causing a poor contact. Spray electronic cleaner at the base of the lever while working the dim/bright and left right turn function back and forth.

Well, infidel, as usual, you may have hit on the issue.
My multi function switch is acting up and I plan on replacing it soon. it doesn't always 'park' the wipers.
it's been doing it for months now, but I only drive it once or twice a month (too long for daily driving & parking and too long, wide, and new for hunting with).
Have to see what happens when I replace the switch
