I win for the Wackiest FD anomoly ever!!!

FDisco!

This is what happens after I come from the car wash. While it is really cool and I'm sure many would pay $ to have this sweet "mod", I really would like to fix it. It's obvously wiring. The question is where do I start? I think it's coming from by corner lights.

Not exactly sure what is making it do that. Maybe a relay has a poor connection and is switching on/off.

Looks like your car has been in a wreck too...

Egads! You've got it! I mounted my relay box upside down under the crosmember to accomodate the FMIC radiator relocation. It must be collecting in there.

And no it has not been in an accident.

A friend of ours, MakoDHardie, had this prob for the longest time...and it was freakin hilarious. He drove up w/ us from PA to Rotary Revolution in Indianapolis last year, and we'd be in the gas station, and randomly, his headlights would be alternating, disco style It was great...
