My headlights do not go on. I have checked the fuses and the wires to the switch. They do go on when I pull back the stalk to flash the high beams. I am thinking it is the switch. Thoughts?

That would seem likely, but I'm not an expert. Have you contacted Carey Hines?
Check the ground on the H/L beam relay.
I will do both. Thanks
If fuses, power lines and grounds are all clean and tight then good cahnce its the switch. Suspect same relay is used for stalk and headlight switch? A 4 pole is only $30. If switch is wired without a relay on both low and high beams 4, the feeble contact points in the switch do not last long from arcing. If you know terminal wiring on switch you could bypass the switch contacts to prove its the switch. Probably easier to buy a quality new switch and swap it out. Ensure there are relays in the circuit.

Much here about the proper use of relays for headlights. Do a search or browse the resources. For these cars, relays are a must in my book. Also tending to proper grounds.
