Thumbs down High beams Don't work?

hey all.. just wondering.. i have a funny problem..

my high beams don't work.. when i turn them on.. my headlights die completely.. but when i pull the handle toward me.. they work great..

i have to hold them on all the time and it'd be great if i could fix this.. kinda annoying..

it's an 85' GS..

thanks!

Look for a write up/thread on cleaning the switch. If they work on flash to pass and not on high, it's in the switch.
