I have a 97 Accord (190K miles). 1/2 the nights my drivers side
headlamp goes out.
The bulb is fine. It seems to be the connector that clips on the bulb.
Jiggling the connector does nothing. However if I remove the connector
from the bulb and reconnect, the light works fine again (until enough
vibration or temperature change breaks the connection).
I sprayed the connector contacts a few times with contact cleaner,
letting it soak in.
No luck.
While I would like to replace the connector, a replacement including
the pig tail are on the pricey
side. And getting my hands in that tight space to splice a new
connector will be difficult at best.
Is there a type of conductive grease that I could try to fill in the
small gap that is forming inside the connection? Any other quick fix
ideas? Thanks
