Answer
Jennifer: You have a bad relay that might be a timed relay so it works some of the time but to much power to it and it goes out. As you open the hood of the car, looking at the engine there should be two or three black boxes in with the engine. One of the driver's side of the car, up by the fire wall and then others on the other side of the car but also over by the battery. In those boxes are large fuses and relays. On the top of each box will explain what is in them. You need to check those relays, find the box with the headlight relays in it. Take the neg cable off the battery, take a flashlight, pull the relay and check it with the flashlight because sometimes they are hard to check. Once you find the bad relay, go to a parts store and get a new one. Then again remove the neg cable on the battery put in the new relay and put the cable back on. Because if you do not do this, removing the cable you will blow out the new relay and have to buy another to start again. I hope this help and God bless! Linda
