Even though the headlight switch is "supposed to" remain unloaded via the use of relays, any load greater than 8 amperes has caused earlier Ford headlamp switches to fault. I cannot believe they have not cured this issue. Chevrolet, and Dodge switches are immune. Not only did headlamps flicker (cycle) they would fail entirely, circuit breaker fashion. I used to cure this problem by installing Tyco relays (Bosch) fused for 20 amps.
This issue used to drive electrical shops mad, so don't feel lonely :)
Believe it or not, tail lamp, marker lamp issues caused the headlamp beams to go psycho. The cure? Relays for everything. Alternate brand switches were as hopeless as Motorcraft switches.
