RE: [DML] High Beam Issue Solved

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Group, 
Just as a reminder I still rebuild the original light switch in the car if
some of you are not happy with the replacement. I have even come up with a
way to fix most of them even if they are melted. Email or call if you need
one done.

Subject: [DML] High Beam Issue Solved

A Big DML Thank you to:

Dave S., Dave T., Elvis, Harold & Steve,


I had checked the # 15 fuse & fuse holder for issues. All looked real good.
The fuse was fine and no melting. I didn't know about the light lever dimer
switch needing to click but even that was working fine when I checked that a
little while ago. I decided to leave the dimer lever switch in the high beam
position with the light switch on and wiggle the fuse. It worked. I have
high beams and none of the nasty other problems. I am going to replace the
good fuse with a new one and use some electrical grease to insure a long
term fix. 

After driving from Orland Park, IL to Delavan, WI from 12:00 A.M. to 02:30
A.M. last night with no high beams, I will enjoy having the good old high
beams back in the ruck sack of working mechanicals.   

BTW We had a great day at Tom & Cory's BBQ & seeing the BTTF movie on the
big screen from 17:30 Hrs to 24:00 Hrs. There were 14 "D"'s in attendance as
well as a fun group of owners. Rich W. and Tom & Cory put together a
funtastic DeLorean day. Thanks for the hospitality and great conversation.
It was well worth the 220 mile trip. Other than the high beam issue 11546
was a joy to drive. I was even able to out perform another 82 off the line
from a stop light. It did help that he had a automatic and mine is a 5
speed.
