At least one thing is certain - If this happens only on the highs, it can not be the switch, as it only feeds power to the stalk. On the stalk, the power is swithced and directed in certain paths, either for low or high. If it happens on both low and high, it is probably the ignition- or headlight switch. PerL 87 Syncro 112i |
