Hey i just bought a 93 4runner. but i have noticed when i engage the high beams the regular lights turn off but no highbeam light turns on. Please tell me what it is, i wondered if it was a fuse or if i needed to replace the bulbs but please help!

Thanks alot im gonna try that. all i do is take out the combo thing and clean the contacts?

 

I agree with 4Crawler. I had this same issue. Wish I read his write up before I bought a replacment switch column from the salvage yard.

on the positive side my junk yard find still had all the white lettering on it so it looked like new when I replaced the switches.

 

I did mine in place, the trick is to follow the troubleshooting steps on the web page.

 

Mine just cut out sometimes randomly. It's wierd.

 

I had that same issue of cutting out randomly. I tore apart my steering column to get to the guts of the high beam on and off clicker. I found there was a build up of grease in there that was making the contact intermittent. I cleaned the thing out and I haven't had a problem since. I think there is a write up on it on YT but I couldn't find it.

 

Yep, they will do that, typical symptom of a dirty contact in the switch. Some time the contact will make and some time not.

 

Hmmm... I'll have to check that out. Thanks.
