I had an interesting problem happen last night on my way home from work.  My
headlights would not turn on with the switch on the dash console.  All of
the other lights worked, (side markers, console dimmer).  I removed the
dashboard switch and pried it open and cleaned off all of the copper
contacts and reassembled (3 times I did this).  Still no headlights,  The
only way the headlights will come on is by pulling and HOLDING the turn
signal lever on the steering column.  I had to hold it for 40 minutes while
I drove home.  Unfortunately, this turns on the low beams as well as the
high beams.  So my apologies if you were one of the million drivers who told
me to turn off my F*&%^king brights last night.  I figured brights were
safer that no headlights at all.  Anyway, something has shorted out
somewhere, any ideas.  one clue; at first I was able to flip the switch
repeatedly and they came on a couple of times, but went back out after 5-10
minutes of driving.  Now not even that will work.  help, I can't drive at
night.
