High beam problems!
Well, I am not sure whether the problem is in the signal switch or somewhere else but, whenever I go to turn my brights on or off the switch only sometimes works. It will always turn the brights off but I have to hit it sometimes a million times just to get the brights to come on and sometimes when I try to turn on the brights it just turns off the lights... This is not fun to do while driving at night. So is it a mechanical problem in the "blinker Lever" or an electrical issue. If anyone knows of a way to fix this it would probably save my life thanks!

Re: High beam problems!
Could be a bad switch (bottom of steering column) or an adjustment issue between switch and rod.

Re: High beam problems!
Which rod are you talking about? would it be at the bottom of the switch? The switch at the bottom of the steering column, is that under the dash?

Rod from stalk down column to switch at the base of the column (under the dash).

Re: High beam problems!
My switch was bad. $12 part, but a pain in the a-- to change.
