While driving, the headlights go out; they do not come back on for hours in some cases. Hazards/ flashers still work.
Also happened once during the day with no headlights on ... simultaneously, motor surged/ lost power briefly as headlights go out (if they were ON). Also I heard "clicking" noise during power loss/ surge. Engine power loss was very short-lived.
When power surges (and headlights go out if ON), the radio, outside digital temp, dash lights, and power windows all fail. After driving a while with flashers one night, the Check Engine light, then Air Bag Light came on.
So far this has happened 3 times, all in the last month - twice at night on dark mountain roads, once at 11 a.m. on a mountain road. Temp approximately 38 degrees F or less each time, and, each time, as it got warmer outside (lower altitude in all cases,) all problems vanished including warning dash lights.
During first episode we noticed headlamp switch was very hot. We replaced switch; old one was burned-looking. New switch stays cool but same issue has occurred twice since replacing switch.
