My 91 tracer has a headlight problem. When I have the headlights on and use my left turn signal the headlights turn off until I turn the signal off. It doesn't do it when I turn right and doesn't do it when I have my running lights going.

I can hold the signal light down to the point of clicking into place and it works but as soon as it gets past a certain point it turns the headlights off.

I've replaced the relay but still nothing.

I would start with checking all the turn signal light bulbs and sockets...sounds like a corrsion probelm to me...or possibly the headlight switch itself.

Lovely,
I'll clean them up and hopefully that'll be that.


Thanks
