Hi beam switch wiring and pics

Hi Pelican

I've got some troubles with an early '70 S 911, Low beam work fine, but no hi-beam

The blue hi beam bulb slightly lights when turning on low beam, nothing happens when I push back the lever, but low beam turns off when I try to flash hi-beams.

I may need the wiring and the relay wiring too please

Is there any way to fix the switch (I guess he's the culprit)

Thanks
Philippe

Is this a new problem and everything was fine before? Have you worked on/replaced the lights recently?

What happens when you "flash" the high beams? Are they actually low beams or nothing?

It does sound like the switch. If you do a search, there are multiple threads on how to repair those. It is usually not too terribly hard. It is generally an issue with the contacts on the stalk. Cleaning and adjusting them usually is the fix.

The oldest year I have a schematic for is '74. It is similar, but someone will come along and have better one for your car. You probably would not need one as it is pretty obvious how the contacts work once you remove the part and can see the contacts. Good luck and be sure to ask if you have more questions or cannot find a good thread in your search.

A 70S is one fine automobile.
