No Brights.
Couldnt find a thread that would help me, My brights on my gsl-se do not work when clicked forward. However they do work when switch is pulled back for temporary use. Does this sound like a relay issue or switch issue? if switch does anyone have a working one for sale??

There are no relays in these cars for the headlights. All of the current runs through the switch.
If you remove the steering wheel and then the column cover you can remove the switch assembly, dismantle, and clean the contacts. Be careful if you decide to attempt this as there are a bunch of little ball bearings in there that will try to run away.
There is a thread somewhere with pictures of this.

Many people have been able to clean the contacts without taking the switch apart.

Sanding the connections was what I did. Unless you sanded the pad off, it should be fine. Are you sure you got everything back together correctly? The first time I did this, I forgot to plug in my wipers. Before you panic, check the simple things. You can also reassemble and plug in the switch to test it before installing it on the column, etc.

its supposed to do that
Disassembling and cleaning is the best way to do it, but in a pinch I have had good luck flooding the thing with contact cleaner and working the switch for a hundred cycles or so. Due to there being no relays, this is a common problem on FBs. I highly recommend installing a relay harness for the headlights, it makes a noticeable difference in light output as well.

So i still have only high beams and no low beams working currently, I know there are no relays but are there any inline fuses to check (besides the fusable link under the hood).
I also put in a different set of bulbs to make sure it wasnt the bulbs that happened to have gotten fried. I have also quadrouple checked to make sure everything is back together correctly...
