• “When driving at night all of the lights on the vehicle go out, but the engine continues to run normally.

• “Driving home at night my main headlights randomly turned off while moving and went completely dark. The headlight setting was set to always on at the time of the incident. I quickly tried flipping to the auto setting and the head lights came back on. I drive 50 yards and they went back off.
