'97 Avalon strange flickering headlights
With only 38,000 miles on my Avalon, I want to keep it a while longer, but it's finally come down with literally it's first problem since I bought the car. (not counting the noisy shocks which dealer never would fix, just lubed them up)
When, and -only- when, speed gets to 50+ miles per hour the headlights will start flickering. May start at 50, or 60 or 70, but NEVER below. The flicker definitely has a pattern, 5 - 6 rapid flickers, then brief pause, then repeat. If you slow down to 45-ish the flicker stops completely. Also flicker does not seem to be affected, or caused by, bumps, etc. They have no effect on starting, stopping, or pattern change.
No other lighting does it that I can tell.
Had extended warrany when it started last month but dealer could not find a problem. Said it was probably the battery that they had put in two years earlier, replaced it. No go. Now out of warranty.
Any thoughts, or possibly advice on a good electrical shop in Houston?
Thanks for any help!
John
