I myself would love the answer to this one Rick, I have the exact same problem and posted it on here about 3 months ago with not much response. I have also been told it is "most likely" the switch but the funny thing is that it still lights up the blue high beam light on the dash which leads me to believe that it is still making a contact so am bit reluctant to change it so far. Good luck with it mate and if you find the answer please enlighten me.

Thanks for the reply and offer vey, if i need a new switch I will get back to you as it might be cheaper than I can source locally myself.

I've pulled the "flicky thing" apart and checked that all is ok and it activates the high beam light on the dash which tells me that it is working from my understanding. If it was a newer vehicle I would take it to the dealer but being an 89 hilux I cant justify spending the money a dealer would charge to find the problem. Im trying to get out of it costing me money but if it comes to the crunch I may have to see an auto electrician for advice.

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone can help out....my hilux is having high beam issues, what happens is when i push the lever forward to activate high beam there is nothing, low beam cuts out but no high beam, just darkness but the high beam indicator light shows up on the dash. When i pull the lever back to flash high beam they work fine though. This problem started intermittently but now is doing it constantly so no high beam at all unless i hold the lever back (which is difficult to do on winding roads lol). I have checked fuses and relay and all are ok and have pulled apart the stalk assembly to check the switch itself and it seems ok and as the dash light is showing i presume it has to be working correct. Have also recently converted the sealed beam units to new h4 style so globes are new but problem existed before i did this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even a starting point or things to try as it is getting very annoying. Thanks in advance.

I have a similar problem. Mine turns on to low beam but then exactly like yours, push the lever to high and I have no lights at all but the high beam light on the dash comes on and when i pull the lever back the high beam works fine! Please can someone shed some light on what may be causing this. Have checked the relay and it tests fine.
