Question Turn/Main Beam Switch Fault

Whenever I switch my lights on the full beam gets stuck on as well this can some times be cleared by indicating (using turn signal)
I take it this is likey to be a problem with the column switch, but before I spend £100 does anyone know if theres a possible fix?

You can try to fix the switch by adjusting the copper fingers inside the switch but, I've found that this is a temporary fix.

Replace the switch and move on. I have owned my 911 for over 10 years and have replace the switch twice. About every 5 years....

I think the switch is around $75-$90 here. Make sure you install the Marcus Sucro relay kit before you use your high beams again. THe relays will greatly lengthen the life of your new turn signal stalk.

also, when installing the new switch have a clear view of the connections and replace each connection one at a time. i.e., disconnect one from the old and connect to the new.
