A related, if different question: My high/low beam
switch has become erratic. bounces back and forth
between high/low without warning, (turn the wheel,
etc.) Now will only stay on high, but can pull the
stalk back to get low (must hold in position). I
suppose the stalk needs pulling/cleaning/rebuilding,
but I do not look forward to all the hassle. Should I
check relays & all wiring connections first, or is it
definitely in the switch? I would bet several of you
have encountered this...
