A few weeks ago the light stalk stuck and would not flash or operate main beam, other lights ok, it just would not pull towards me. Decided I could live with it until Christmas was out of the way.
Few days later, started car, switched lights on, only parking lights working. Turned the stalk on, off, up, down etc several times, switched ignition off, restarted, all lights ok - including main beam.
Driving last night, the blue main beam light was glowing dimly when on dip. Today, the blue light is fully illuminated when the lights are switched on, in 1st or 2nd position, but the only front light operating is the passenger side parking light, and the stalk moves freely but will not flash. All rear lights, indicators and foglights are fine.
I guess the problem is the stalk/switch and not a fuse or relay (the accessory relay was replaced recently). How straightforward is it to replace the stalk?
