my 2002 rav 4's headlights stopped working but if you hold the high beam on they work prior to them going out when you turned them on there was a pause before they lit up

Hard to believe 2002 is ~10 or 11 years old now. Just a maybe that could cause that is a weak ground common to all and re-routes for just the "flash" mode??

The whole circuit is controlled using grounds. Power is direct.

Right and just a guess as it was said reacted but slow on flash request. Weak grounds or power involving all. Added load might get warm/hot and work for a bit??
