Help! Headlights and instrument panel randomly not working

[_reido_]

Hi guys!

My car is throwing up a random fault to which I can\'t explain.

Car: 2003 wrx sti

Front headlights (high beam and low beam) plus instrument panel (sti defy style panel) are just randomly turning themselves off at the same time.

While its in this state, the lights on, indicators and doors still illuminate on the dash. (Also park lights and indicators and rear lights all work)

If I turn car off and on fault will continue,

But if turn the car off at wait about 10- 15min, turn car back on and everything works,

Any ideas? Happened to anyone else?

Cheers

Andrew

does it have an auto setting??

Not that I\'m aware of. Had never done it before and done it 3 times today

just have a look on the light switch or find the fuse for it and have a look at that

Was a fuse. it hadnt blown but wasnt sitting tight in panel, Auto sparky seemed to think that the speedo switching off is an indicator that headlights aren\'t working? Correct me if he\'s wrong. Replaced with new fuse which sits tightly in panel.problem solved.
