January 3, 201412 yr 1983 GL Wagon 4WD Low beams work fine. When i pull back on the stalk switch, all 4 lights illuminate as they should. When i push forward, turning the high beams "on" - all 4 lights shut off. Any hunches as to whats going on here? Searched to no avail. Thanks!
January 3, 201412 yr My best bet would be the headlight combo switch on your steering column has a short / ground issue. Maby even worn contacts? I had a similar issue with my 86 Brat. I replaced the switch on the column and the problem stopped. It may be wise to wait for a more experienced response. I will try to locate a picture of said switch.

January 3, 201412 yr Sounds like the switch is bad. If it was a power or relay issue they wouldn't work when pulled back.
January 3, 201412 yr Author Thanks Gloyale and 81EA81. Thats what i was leaning towards. i took the switch off of the column and cleaned it up. No dice. Ive got a few lying around, i'll report back.
January 5, 201412 yr Author It was the multi-switch behind the steering wheel on the column. Replaced with a used unit and all is well. Thank you!
