The very common reason for this failure is a faulty ignition switch.


your high beams most likely still work when you pull the stalk  (
ignition on or off, light switch off ...high beams should flash anytime ) ..


when it's like this , it's almost always the ignition switch ..
a very small, easily carried, easily plugged-in-to-test switch that's
not expensive. It's silly not to have a spare on board on trips.


stay cozy !

I'm guessing that there is a problem with the switch, just my guess as I'm NOT a mechanic. Any other ideas or, if it's the switch - is there a way to bypass the switch so I can get home to Maine before I do a permanent fix.
