I installed a new ignition switch , hoping it would solve my headlamp issues. All i can say is what a P.I.T.A. for such a simple task. i just don't bend like i used too. well , it did not fix the headlights but i'm glad i changed it anyways. So i decided to take the headlight switch out and spray the crap out of it with contact cleaner. my headlights are working now . i turned then off and on several times and they are working every time .
So if you think your headlight switch is dead , spray it with contact cleaner or maf cleaner first before dropping the 100 bucks or so for a new one.
