Problems with low beam switch - And, how to reattach signal stalk properly?
Posted: Wed Oct 17, 2018 8:19 pm
Hey all
I put in LED sealed beams about 1 year ago. Been dailying it without issue until now, the Low-beam stopped working only on one side.
I swapped the bulbs and problem persisted (same side), so it's not the bulbs.
1. I read online it could be either the signal stalk, or the white dial switch. Removed my white dial, took it apart, and all my circuit board and wire connections look fine. Should I just blob some solder on each point to be safe?
2. While tinkering, I stupidly removed the 2 golden screws holding in the signal stalk spring. I now have no clue how to reattach it properly? The stalk wants to "push" itself forward all the time now (highbeam). With the slightest pressure it pops into highbeam mode (forward)...is there a certain way to put the spring back so it work like OEM? It felt 100% fine before. Tried reattaching it for an hour straight. I only detached the little silver cover that holds the spring inside the gold cylinder. Is the spring supposed to sit naked against the silver part? did i lose some tiny piece somewhere? searched my floor and didn't see anything
Thanks for taking the time to look at my post. I do have a test light if needed
