Anyone have any ideas about this 2004 Forester high beam problem? When the

lever is moved to the temporary high beam position, the highs come on as they should for as long as I hold the lever, but when I try to move the lever to have them stay on, they don't come on [the lows remain on]. I'm guessing the switch needs replacing. Is that a DIY job? Can the switch be repaired instead of replacing it?

Thanks

Probably be the switch, but disconnect the switch and test it with an ohm meter first. The switch is not really repairable (anything can be repaired with enough time and money), just easier to replace the switch.

A quick cheap thing to try is to rack the lever from low-hi-flash fast a few dozen times. May not fix it but it is cheap and easy to try?
