No high beams

[mooner67]

Recently my high beams went out. If I push the lever forward they turn off but if I pull it back they come on. I know there are low beam fuses but I couldn't find anything about high beam fuses. So could it it be a switch? If so which one?
Thanks!

Not sure what the issue is here...

To turn them on you push the lever forward, to turn them off you pull it back. If you pull it back when the lights are not on, it will flash until you release it (flash to pass)

If they are coming on at all, then the fuse is not the issue. If the switch is doing something weird, you might have a bad switch or GEM module.

Sorry about that. If I push the lever forward they do not turn on but if you pull the lever all the way towards you ( which activates the high beams ) they do come on.

There should be a relay under the hood. Pulling the lever back bypasses the relay under the hood.

my problem was that the lights would not come one when turned on. I ended up flashing the lights and then they were ok. This would only happen periodically. I figured dirt/dust etc had got on on the contacts so I flushed with WD40. Still would not work occasionally. then the turn sigs would not stay engaged, anyhow went to autozone and purchased a new switch assembly. Everything seems to be just circuits so I guess there may be a resistor or something on the boards that was going bad. I pulled the steer wheel, but after all was done there is no need to, just need to remove steering cover to get access. About $150 for the part.
