Re: Headlight Switch Problem.

["David Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

It's probably a good time to replace the switch (or quite driving at 
night). It is a somewhat marginal design, but there is no replacement 
other than OEM (hint to vendors-another opportunity!). I've bought 
OEM replacments that didn't work very well either.

I've opened up a couple and there is nothing inside that is very 
repairable. What usually happens is the switch contacts overheat and 
melt some of the plastic. Then contacts don't line up right and it 
quits working. Lots of tiny parts and springs in there, too.
