High beam switch

So, Im having a bit of a problem with my headlight switch. Never has a problem with turning the low-beams on, and will turn the high beams on when you pull back the signal arm.

Now the weird part is, when you push the signal arm forward, you get no lights at all.
What gives, is it the switch?

The contact cleaner didnt work for me, so since I had the steering wheel off already I just popped another combi switch in from my old writeoff, works fine now!

Thanks for the update man! Yeah, it will only help if the issue is caused by dirty/corroded contacts. If there is a mechanical failure though, then you won't have much luck. lol.

Anyway, always a good thing to try before scrapping a combi switch. Those things aren't cheap, and are becoming kinda rare too.
