Here's one that has me puzzled. On my 84 CD, when I first turn on the headlights, there is a short, variable length delay.

If the temps are normal (above 50* F or so) it is only a 1/2 second to maybe a 1 second delay.

When it is cold out (low 20's to freezing) it is longer - as much as 3 or 4 seconds.

Now what the heck could be causing that? A relay getting old and sticky maybe?

Tell me they didn't put some kind of bizzare vaccum-operated component in the headlight circuit too!
