Headlight Issue

[JhwShark]

The switch seems to be in working order but pulling back slightly on the high beam stalk causes the headlights, radio and fan to work. The switch really does not come apart easily so if anyone has a used one from a donor car, please let me know. they come out pretty easily.

Today, my E28 left me in a no start condition at lunch (arrggh), Came home, got the coupe and went back to work. On the way home, I went over a bump and voila, the fan and radio kicked on and the lights now work.

I then went back to the E28 which, of course, started right up.

I love old cars.:-D

Tod,
The stalk switch description you gave made me think way back to my euro 2002...dimmers behaved similar to that. I took the switch off the steering mount and the back was a little loose. The black flat back wiggled somewhat in the alum case...it was held in by pinch type portion of the case. I just squeezed them tighter using a small vise grip and the unit was tight no movement at all within the casing. I remounted it an no more problems.

If thats not it, loose wire some where in the circuit I suppose.
I just love classic cars.
