SHould lights flash?

[Scott S]

Hi All -
I have been going through every bloody system in my car this winter. I thought I was down to only one issue, until I noticed something last night - my headlights do not flash.

When I pull the stalk, should they? (my car is a 77).

All other dash controls, lighting, turn signals, high beams, etc - even the trunk lights - are unmolested and work perfectly.

Should I be able to flash my lights with the stalk? If so, do I need to replace the entire column switch?

Thanks!!

Yes they should flash. The stalk is probably burned. You might be able to bodge it if your clever.
You should also fit a relay for your high beams, to prevent this problem for the normal high beam.

Do a search for headlight switch cleaning.

Mine would flash over every bump until I did this fix. Very easy and worked perfectly.
