The headlight switch on my '83 will drive w/ low beam lights fine and will flash hi-beam lights but when its pushed foreward the lights go out. sometimes if the planets are in alignment it will go to hi-beams...shortly.
This is the third or fourth 1st gen with the same head light prob. Any suggestions? I've looked at mazdatrix and racingbeat for replacement assemblies but no luck? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif |
mine has the same problem as well. I took the assembly out and fiddle around with it with no lucks. Any helps would be appreciated.

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif Thats wierd.On my 83 I never had any lighting problems with it.The highs seem to be really bright.Is the switch itself working properly or it could be a relay.
|
racer from what ive been told on my 85 it's the combo switch ive checked all the fuses but i havnt checked the relays so im not sure..
|
I have a problem with my lights also- I have no low beams only high beams checked fuses any pointers?
|
Pull the steering wheel, spray contact cleaner generously (best to disconnect negative battery cable first!) right where the lever goes into the combo switch. It might take 2 or 3 times, but it'll fix it.
Exact same thing happened on mine. Good Luck! |
I agree.Overtime contacts will get gummed up and dirty.Usually a good cleaner will fix alot of electrical problems.On power windows sometime the connections at the switch itself have too much rust on them to make a good connection after a little cleaning with a little wire brush you'll be amazed by how those little things work.

Thanx for the idea .
I'll give it a try. |
I was gonna suggest contact cleaner as well.
Try spraying it in the switch before you take anything apart. If you DO end up disassembling the column and removing/cleaning the switch, go over the brass contacts with a soft pink eraser - gets it nice and clean! |
