High Beam's quit working!

1987 Gen 2, 6 cyl

The high beams quit working must be a few years ago now. I put new bulbs in them, but that didnt fix it. In the fusebox all i see is right lamp and left lamp, not specific to high beams...

When i put the brights on, all i am left with is parking lights. I don't get a dummy light or anything...

What should I check?

Sounds like either your combo switch has gone bad, or you got a bad relay. The switch isn't cheap, but maxwgn knows about this one. I'd also check all your relays to see if you got one that's not working.

Ok, I will give it a go this weekend, I'll post results back here, in the meanwhile, if anyone else has any specifics of where the relays/fuses are I should check, I'd really appreciate it. I have a FSM, but it is destroyed, its 500 totally mixed up pages now and NOT fun to try to go through
