brake lights/right blinker/high-lo beam switch
brake lights/right blinker/high-lo beam switch
For some reason my right and horizontal brake lights have gone out. I replaced the right bulb a few months ago and the horizontal bulbs right before it went out and both still seam to be good. I checked the fuses, but they seem to be okay. Any idea what the problem is?
Also, the right signal has stopped flashing. The left still does, so I'm not sure what the problem could be.
How hard is the hi/lo beam switch to replace? It hasn't worked since I bought the car.

I'll try to help you out some, as I'm not an expert here, but need a little more info. (1) does your right blinker not work at all, or does it come on and just not flash? (2)Hi-beams... does the switch not work at all, or does it not engage to keep the hi-beams on?
As far as your right blinker, could be a bulb again, or possibly a short, broken wire, etc.
As for your hi-beams, if it's a matter of not being able to engage the switch all the way, that's pretty easy to fix. If it's a fact that the switch is not working at all, that's a little harder to replace, but still not all that difficult...

OK - your non-blink problem is most likely the bulb either in the front or the rear that has gone bad. As for the hi-beamers, when you try to switch them off and on, do you hear the "spring loaded click" at all, or is if oyu do hear it, it just doesn't work? It sounds like your problem is that the switch position needs to be adjusted. Hopefully.
