Headlights go out one side at a time randomly
I have searched the forum and can't find anything on this. It started with my left headlight low beam not working, high always works. Then it came back on a few days later. Then the right side is doing the same exact thing. Any idea what this could be? It seems to flicker when I hit bumps but i can't find any loose wiring or connections????

Before replacing the headlamp switch, inspect the large electrical connector just in front of the PCM. You'll need to uncouple the connector and examine the pins and pin cavities in the connector halves. There's been a lot of headlight issues due to corrosion in this connector.

Locate the air filter box on the driver's side of the engine bay. The PCM is next to it. You'll have to remove the air filter box to get at the connector.
