headlight switch

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

Wel your deductions are flawed..

the switch hold power back until you turn it on, then the power passes
through the headlight switch into the steering collumn to the beam selector
arm.
since when you turn on and off the high beams and they sometimes work
sometimes don't your problem is most likely to be found in the selector arm
contact.
take the cover off and see if you can get a can of contact cleane or
electric contact cleaner and spray this on while activating your arm (power
off to car btw) and let it dry, then try youor high beams on and off againw
ith power. could be just oxidation.

=>well here we go,
=>i am having a really funny problem with my headlights,
=>last week a friend of everyones and me wired up and
=>relayed my euro lights, and were having some really
=>funny problems with the power comming from the stock
=>wiring.  so i was driving home last night and the
=>lights were working fine and i went to go turn on my
=>high beams and there was total darkness, they just
=>didnt work.  so that was ok i still had my low beams,
=>though maybe i just blew out the fuses for the high
=>beams.  so this morning i went out to check the fuses
=>and they were fine, so i turned on the headlights and
=>switched on the high beams and they worked!!  so i
=>thought i would switch back to low beams and it
=>worked.  all the relays were working propery.  tried
=>to put the highs back on and they didnt come on, what
=>does everyone think of this.  i am thinking headlights
=>switch, doesnt sound like it is making a good contact
=>what the high beams are switched to the on position.
=>
=>thanks
