    Help!! Electrical Issue Help!!

    Ok, I've been having issues with my headlights going out and coming back on for a while now and today I had time and was patient enough to find the problem. The problem lies in the ground junction located in the left front fender behind the signal light. When I move the box slightly the lights will all go out and come back on. Here's a pic of the box.



    Now, my question is, does this box simply fuse all the wires togeather inside?? Can I cut them all from this box and make my own?? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Anthony-

    yes. They are all attached. Pull it apart like an orange and take a look.

    That's what I was thinking. I could rip that apart and rebuild my own.

    Hey Anthony...not sure what systems are tied into that ground junction but it can possibly be contributing to your system (stereo) noise.

    Good point!! Kill 2 birds with one stone. I plan to have this problem resolved by the end of this week. I am going to see if the junction is sold at the dealer and I'll just cut and solder the wires onto a new one. If not, I'll get one from a scrap yard.
