Tiggie Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 The electrics are usually full of gremlins with these brands. I helped a friends boyfriend who had an issue with his headlight flickering. Turned out the connector block for the wiring loom by the headlight was melting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlesticks Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Maybe the wires coming from the ignition lock barrel? Only mention it as I've just had mine replaced on the Explorer and while researching it it seemed like a lot of people had had lights failing due to cracked wires under the lock.
