On certain vehicles, the high electrical current flowing through the headlamp switch during simultaneous operation of the headlamps and fog lamps may cause the switches internal bimetal circuit breaker to open due to overheating. Should this occur, the vehicle's headlights may go out for brief intervals (flickering or blinking). Extended cycling of the circuit breaker due to continued overheating can result in longer duration outages. Correction: Dealers will install a headlamp switch which incorporates a circuit breaker of revised design, and a wiring harness connector, if needed.
