Full beam Light Switch/Indicator

Post by jase »

Please help!!! My full beam lights are working ok when i pull the lever towards me and they flash. The problem is when i push the lever away from me to switch the full beam on rather than just flash them the lights go dim rather than full??? Can anyone tell me if this is the switch itself or maybe something else??? Thank-you! Jason

Almost certainly the switch if high beam works when you pull the lever towards you.

If you take off the steering column cover you can locate the switch mechanism at the base of the stalk. If you have a 90 degree philips head screwdriver you can remove the switch and fill it up with WD40 or something similar. That might work and save the cost of a new switch mech.

I had a problem with that switch and it has worked ok ever since after doing the above.

Thanks for that! I`ll give it a go! I did take the steering cover off and spray an electrical cleaner in to see if that worked but it didnt. I`ll take the switch off and do what you said. Thanks for taking the time to reply! Thanks jase ;)
