Headlight issues 2012 386 pete

Could be .... could be a number other things (harnesses). Troubleshooting electrical issues in complex vehicles is not typically an easy process but I would start with the switch. Good luck. Having it pause 10-15 seconds would lead me to want to also consider a low voltage situation if the switch checked out ok. These systems today have relays that require so much voltage or it's a no-go. Do the lights cut out only at low rpm or idle?

 

Are these HID? They need lots of juice to initially ignite so a bad connection and they'll have trouble getting lit.

 

I'm in a 386,.. though mine is an 08. I had to have the entire front wiring harness replaced. Mechanic told me it was a common problem with the 386. On some the steering arm hits the group of wires there at the box next to the radiator. Yours being a 2012 should have been corrected.

Mine had one side (Driver side) with the high beam stuck on as soon as the lights were on and the running light portion was out. The daytime running lights were not working at all. The other side had intermittent moments where the light would go out all together, hit a bump and it would come back on.

Havent had any problems since the wiring was redone. Had a bulb go out a month ago and I was like here we go again. But turned out to be just the bulb. I am pretty anal when it comes to all my lights and signals working properly.

Check the connectors on either side of the radiator.
