I think i need to replace the switch. Anyone have any advice on this? My high beams are stuck on, and when I pull the blinker lever...no click. What part likely failed?
Thanks, Craig

fuse box plate under dash, take out the 2 screws and it comes down, orginal high/low relay is a silver cube to the left mounted upside down.. it may be black plastic cube still mounted upside down.. with wires going to and from it yellow and whitwires ect. ect.. usually when the fail you can't click lock into high beam but fail is fail.

I would bet the relay is faulty, sorry for the extra input as that confused the matter, easy as replacing a fuse, drop the fuse box 2 screws you cannot miss it or mistake it.. only one mounted upside down...
