Default Dimmer switch

If I pull back slightly on the turn signal lever (before it clicks to hi beam) the hi beam lights come on until i release it. Maybe that's some sort of feature for flashing oncomers? I dunno. Problem is if I do pull it all the way back(click) the brights stay on until i release the lever, then the brights go back off. The little blue hi beam indicator says they're on, but they are not. Any idea what part I need to replace? Just now I realized I shoulda done a search on here first, but I didn't think of it and I don't wanna waste all my monitor ink Thanks

That's the "Passing" feature to alert slower drivers you intend to pass them.
Sounds like your dimmer/combination switch is bad.

Ahh.. passing feature. Ya, I kinda figured it was prolly bad. I think i'll take it apart and clean/inspect it before I slap down $50+ for a new one. It worked on the NSS. Thanks ol"blue
