Hi, Recently, my 2001 ford ZX2, 70,000 miles, 100% stock, has had a problem with the headlights - It will flicker and my entire set of headlights, dash lights, and even A/C area lights will go out, but if you jiggle the healight/washer stick a little, everything comes back on - However, it only does this when i go from brights to my normal lights, but not from normal to high beams. When it does it, there is usually no warning, so we could go around a corner and crash, or get screwed by a cop. So as you can imagine, i need to fix this! Wiring is NOT my forte, so would anyone have any ideas?

Much Appreciated! Thanks!

Hmmm.... Might there be a way to figure out which it might be? Also, Is there a way to fix it at home? Or will i have to get it professionally done? I've heard this sort of problem costs BIG $$$$$!

UPDATE - The problem is now MUCH worse, i only have headlights if i hold the light switch back in the Bright position... I need a solution soon! Thanks for all your help everyone, especially chevy350guy
