Question Light problem

Hey guys, my headlights are stuck on bright, sometimes i'm able to jiggle the switch enough to get it back to low beams, but the brights come back on eventually. Kind of a pain when on the highway and people think i'm flashing them! Any idea how to fix this????

Have you tried resoldering the headlight switch / instrument panel assembly? There are a few FAQs and Howto's on the net that discuss this. It may be as simple as a bad solder joint or a dirty switch.

probably a stuck headlight relay or bad turn signal switch.

The high beams are not controlled by the light switch, other than to turn on the head lamp circuit.
