PT Cruiser with no headlights
My 2001 PT Cruisers seems to have a major problem. My headlights go out at random. I was driving along one night in May and suddenly my headlights went out. We were able to pull off to the side of the road safely. After about 10 minutes they would come back on. I took it to a Chrysler dealer and he said he'd never heard of a problem like that. He checked with the Chrylser company and got back to us. No, no problems. He told us for
$64.50 an hour they would check it but probably wouldn't find anything unless it happened while they had the car. We have been driving the car during the day with the brights on to see if it happened again. In the last two months it's happened at least 3 times. Now what do we do? I have a wonderful PT Cruiser that I can only drive during the day. I can't even sell it with this problem. Any suggestions? Has any other PT Cruiser owners had this problem. I could sure use some help.
Circuit breaker and a short circuit.
I'm not sure how a PT Cruiser is wired, but it sounds like you have a circuit breaker in the system that resets itself after ten minutes, and a short circuit that is causing it to go off. Unless you have installed some sort of aftermarket electrical device, the most likely place for a short circuit would be at the connectors instead of along the wiring. Look for anything like rust or signs of water leakage or other damage. Good luck as short circuits are a real pain to find. Not having a PT Cruiser wiring diagram, I could be wrong about the existance of a circuit breaker, but that seems the most likely way this could happen.
PT Cruiser Headlights turning off?
I just read at another site that some 2001 PT Cruisers came with faulty light switches... Maybe you could have the switch replaced and solve your problem!
Hope this info isn't too late for you and hope it helps!!
