Subject:      More headlight problems

Hi Volks,

Ok, I checked all the fuses first and yes, the #9 was
fried (hi beam fuse).  I replaced that and the
headlights still didnt work.  Soooo I checked the
grounds, and they all seem ok - cleaned em up and
all...  No lights.  Soooo, I replaced the headlight
switch with a new one... No headlights.

Again - the running lights go on and the dash lights
work.  The hi beams don't work either.  When I turn
the headlights 'on' the high beam indicator comes on
and I can't turn it off... So I remembered about a
month ago I flicked the high beams off and my
headlights went out (on a mtn road!).  Many wild
flicks later they came back on.

Could the high beam connections in the steering column
have something to do with the headlights not working?

I took that sucker apart last night and managed to
loose the tiny spring in the mechanism, so Im screwed
at the moment, but wondering if Im on the right track
and what else I can do.  Need these lights as vacation
comming up thursday!!!

Thanks list,

Jeff
