Does anyone know, in the picture below, which traces control the low beams? The white peice is the one that is actually controlled by the headlight switch, it slides up and down and has three little copper bars on it. The traces you see just below it are the ones that those coppers bars slide on. Anyway, to the picture:



The problem I'm having is my low beams won't come on unless I put a little pressure on the switch as if I'm going to turn on the high beams. After taking the switch off and taking it apart I figured out what controls the running lights/headlights, now, I just need to find out which one controls the low beams so I can figure out just WHY they only work when I put pressure on it.

Bah, nevermind. I was showing my dad what I had learned about it and showed him on piece I couldn't get off and then walked in here to post this. He then walked in and said, "Uhh, I got that piece open... but... it kinda exploded all over and I don't know where all the pieces were." So, I had to run to AutoZone and buy a new one for $60.

Although, I think I'd still like to know if anyone has that knowledge, it'll eventually happen again.

That switch was bad neway i believe, same thing happened to mine buddy

Well, duh. I was trying to figure out exactly WHAT went bad. The same thing happened in my other Z.

I tore mine apart just like you did - cleaned all the contacts and re-bent them so they would touch where they were supposed to again, but it didn't help.
