High beams not working
 
When I push the stalk forward to the highbeams setting they do not come on, yet when I pull rear to blip the highbeams they work.

Is there a relay somewhere that might be stuck/dead?
Stick issue?

Ideas/suggestions?

From what I remember if one high beam goes it causes the other one not to work. Check both bulbs tell us how it goes! Someone I know had a similar problem because of a bad ground.

Good chance it is the headlight switch. Easy to replace, but not cheap.

Do you have daytime running lights? If so, if the headlight switch is off and the car is running your headlights will be on and you can still flash your high beams; however, you cannot turn the high beams on without also turning on the headlight switch.

No daytime running lights.

I'll check to make sure both Highbeam bulbs are working tonight.

Wow, thats a pricey switch, hope thats not my problem.

Unfortunately it is not uncommon for that switch to go bad.
