I'm In The Dark Here

[Forrestkhaag]

New to my new 2010 Boxster and I am trying to diagnose a light issue.

The car headlights only work in low beam mode on any of the switch settings and only come on on one of the switch settings - HOME, I think. The dash lights only work to illuminate the leds / no tach, speedo, fuel etc. so driving at night involves a lot of guesswork on rpms, speed, etc.

When I pull back on the headlight stalk, the brights go on as long as it is continuously pulled back / then goes back to low beams when released.

Is this a relay issue not allowing the switch to jump to bright lites? Is it a stalk malfunction or even a main headlight dash switch malfunction.

Or, hopefully, it a new-owner malfunction?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
