richhill48 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 My '97 Legacy wagon has a problem: When I flip on the High Beams, some times they come on but more and more they don't. If I flip the stalk back the highs come on. So i'm guessing that the switch is going out. Do I have to pull the steering wheel to access the switch? Any place to get guidance?

johnceggleston Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 is it both brights or just one side.? check the connector at the head light. try wiggling it with the brights on. they get old and charred and work intermittently. i bought a generic replacement at the parts store for 3.95 and spliced it in.

richhill48 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 they both work fine when you "flash you high-beams" but when you want to run with your high beams some times they come on and some times you are running down the road in the dark.

SUBARU3 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Is this common in in the 95-99 vintage? My 95 Legacy LS just started the same thing. No high beams unless you flash them by pulling back on the stalk. The switch is outragious in price!! Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richhill48 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Your right those combo switches are steep. rockauto has after market for $220 at the cheapest. Just made me think, I bet i could rerout to a floor switch like my '73 ford pickup. I can't afford the switch right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hmm....I guess I better start searching. I have the LS and it has the dial type Int wiper switch. Much harder to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
