02 TA headlights not going down until minutes after This is a post to help a friend with his 02 TA.
When he turns the lights off, the lamps do not go down until 2 or 3 minutes later. The gears have been replaced with the brass gear since last year and this is the first time it ever happened, today on a trip from FL to GA. Also, along with headlight issue, the ODO and radio dim (like when the lights come on, but the lights are not on) then several minutes later come back on to normal. BTW, the gears in the head lights do not grind, chatter or anything like that.
Possible Alt. issue? I have ran into issue's before where a weak Alt. cause havoc with the electronics in the F-Bodies.

It just started happening when they were on their way to GA from FL. The car is a DD and has NEVER had an issue besides the headlight gear and window motor.
