Headlights do not turn on at all or they turn on stay on for a few minutes then they start to flicker on and off, you can actually hear them cutting on and off. They usually go off entirely after a few minutss. You can sometimes just re-start the car and they will work fine for a time.

SOURCE: 1996 Olds Achieva Engine cuts out

ok; first your car probably has a "rollover switch" this is usally located in the trunk on the right side it can cause this problem but, in your case I think the ground cable that grounds your engine is the culprit check on the engine block for a bolt with a large braided cable that fastens to the frame or sheetmetal of your car remove the bolt(s) and scrape away the paint,grease etc. and, rebolt (the radio is grounded seperately) the gages, lights on dash and, the engine ignition MUST be grounded to the frame to work.

I put alternator and replaced battery and now will not stay running cuts off when turning on Air conditioner headlights dont work

You did take terminals off battery before replacing alternator? May have blown a couple fuses maybe. Check fuses to lights and air cond. Don't know what kind of car you have if it stalls then you wait a few minutes and it starts back up it could be timing sensor. Need more info.

2002 Jeep liberty headlights cut off and then back on at random times. weather makes no difference nor hot or cold. went a way for a few months and now it has started all over again. hear clicking sound...

the clicking your hearing is the relay trying to stay engaged, its heating up causing the relay to power down, which in turn you lose the lights, the heat is caused by the electrical current supplied to the replay, Not the outside temp , locate that relay and replace it, and your problem should be gone

2005 sunfire.. service light stays on and when you start the car it makes a clicking sound and the headlights flicker off and on. They should stay on but don't unless you actually turn them on.

the daytime runnig lights are inoperative, could be the module, relay or a bulb, usually bad wiring, go to cavalier daytime running lights on the web,, there you will get diagnosis directions

Plenty of power in cab wont turn starter

even though there are accessories on, there may not be enough to turn starter over. Or the connection is bad or not metal to metal contact. Last possible cause would be faulty solenoid.

The headlamp switch will cause the lamps to turn off. The switch heats up and turns the headlamps off. It will cool down and work for about 10 minutes and cut out,

Headlights flickering

This could be caused by a lot of different things,,but usually it is the fault of the Headlight Relay.
Try replacing the relay before going further.
