My headlights are currently not working.
This used to be an intermittent problem solved by a gentle wiggle of the indicator arm.
Now they don't work at all and the high beam only works if I pull the indicator arm towards me, the don't work if I try to lock them on.
I presume it's the switch on the end of the arm.

Is this a matter of replacing a switch or is it the whole arm?
Anyone have a how-to on this fix?
 






Same thing happened in my 97 EB. It's the multifunction switch inside the column. My Haynes book gave me a good set of instructions and it was actually pretty easy. Got a replacement from a local Pull-A-Part yard for $16 and it has worked fine for 18+ months.
