headlight issue

Searched and did not find a thread with the symptoms I have...

No low beams, no high beams, but if I pull for flash to pass, high beams come on till I let go.
Have an old set of lights and popped one in, same thing.

They were working fine, had my daughter in my lap, sitting inthe driveway while I had the engine running after oil change, and she pulled on the
lever, high beams came on, and when she let go, low beams were gone.

This should get you headed in the right direction. Try using the cleaner without disassembling anything first, then if that doesn't do it for you, go ahead with the disassembly process as directed.

Took a couple times, but got it working great. Now I'm really hoping that someone's got a copy of the archived thread about slow power windows. Link there is broken.

Thank you for the assist
