Help with 03 head lights and interior lights go off and on

[Cnarvaez]

Help with 03 third...head lights and interior lights are going off and on while driving and then even when in park in garage. Research says it may be FEM..... anyone out there have any info. Thank you

Is there anything else that stops working at the same time as the lights? Like left window, wipers, turninglights, cabmotor.. my car had all those problems on and off helped to buy a new FEM

Thank you, that’s what I thought....have had only occasionally the left window act up, and steering seems stiffer right now. Am checking into the FEM now. Appreciate the feed back. Love this car, but has lots of various issues. I would like to just replace or restore it with better guts so it runs as good as it looks

Steering is also an FEM problem. VAPS variable assist power steering is controlled by a Transistor (P-Channel power MOSFET).

P.S. I wonder if a fix using a wire wound resistor would just put the assist power steering in the center of its range.

All my strange problems are gone after changing the FEM
