[DML] Re: Headlamp switch

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It sounds like you have a burnt headlight switch. As for the Hazard
illumination, both it and the headlight switch have tiny bulbs inside.
It could be the bulb, the holder, or a wiring problem although the
bulb being burnt out is most likely. The headlight relays control the
high and low beams so if in second position you have high and low
beams it is not a relay or fuse problem. The marker lights go directly
through the switch without relays so they could have burnt up the switch.
