I have got a problem with my car and I was wondering if anyone has encountered this before.

When I try and turn my parkers or headlights on, I twist the switch on the arm like we all do but nothing comes on, no instrument lights on the dash, no parkers, or no head lights.

If I twist the stick back to put it on 'Auto' the lights all come on (when its dark outside).

I can also pull the stick back to use the high beams it will turn the high beams on, but when I push the stick forward to lock the high beams on, then nothing.

I am thinking it could be a fuse or a relay??

Just thought I would pick peoples brain first here as I havnt had a chance to look at the car and wont until I get back from overseas.

Combination switch is stuffed, pretty common

+1

I hope it isnt, as it all works and clicks like brand new, its not even loose.

I will have to suss it out when I get back

not to mention a new one is $395 from what ive seen on ebay

Combination switch as mentioned is most likely cause, it's a common failure, check the price from a dealer and compare it against what you have seen

Dealers are cheaper than $395

Edit. What *beep* said.

Yeh combo switch still pretty expensive even with my old mans discount. Was spewin when he told me the price lol

if your handy with a soldering iron you can strip away the plastic around steering column and there should be a broken wire cause all the issues that will be coming from your combo switch.

What I found strange was the both the first 'click' and the second 'click' both have nothing, ie Parkers for the first and headlights for the second. I could understand if it was just one of them.

Ok I guess when I get back I will have to take it apart and see what I find
