No Low Beams????
 
Ok I am trying to help a new 911 owner fix some bugs in his car

It is a 80SC

The problem right now is he has high beam ONLY. When you use the dimmer switch NOTHING happens, the lights just stay on high beam.

I took the switch at the steering column out (not disconnected just out to look at) and everything looks fine. Is the something I should be looing at in particular?

Here is the part I am talking about.

Thanks everyone.

Would he be better off just buying a new part or can I save this one possibly?

I had the same problem, replaced switch on column with a used one and problem fixed.

I had pretty much the same problem...high beams only, but in addition my guage lights wouldn't dim. I replaced both the headlight switch and the turn signal stalk switch with new ones. Problem solved. For a long term fix, have him add relays for the headlights.

Heres a kicker.....

No left low beam......both high beams ok.
New bulbs(H4)
Sucro's relay kit installed
new turn sig switch

now....all blinkers ok(after cleaning and adj. bulb contacts)

then new headlite switch...
only happens w/lights on-
right side blinkers on, no blinking
left sides ok
both brake lites on, no brake lite function(on/off w.brake switch)

put back old headlite switch-same prob.

checked all sig/lite grounds-all ok(now!)
