    Coming home from a local cruise night last night, all of a sudden the dash,tail, & front marker lights start blinking. Headlights are OK. Anybody know were I should begin looking ? Thanks much,---S.

    Replace your head-light switch - After many years (decades?) of constant electrical flow the switch builds up resistance and, when under full power, craps out on you

    You can still get a FoMoCo switch or you can go with over-the-counter - Your choice.....

    Shortly after getting my Shelby in 1977, I installed a set of SEV Marchal headlights. (H-4 Halogens) Immediately they started flashing, along with all of the other lights. Replaced the headlight switch and everything was fine. THe headlight switch has a circuit breaker inside and when they get old, they stop working (Don't we all!):wub:
