Best Answer

The switch under the steering wheel is made of plastic and it has worn out. You can remove it and bend the copper contacts up a tad and it will work better, but it needs a new one which is about a hundred bucks.

Why won't my high beams work on a 1987 Nissan pathfinder when the low beams do?

The bulbs could be burned out, the fuse could be bad, the switch that turnes them on/off could be bad, or there could be a faulty wire somewhere in the circuit. This is all I can think of right away, I'd start by checking the fuse and replacing the bulbs, and if neither of those fix it, you may have to take it in to a mechanic to check the switch and circuit wiring unless you know a fair amount about electrical systems.


2002 Saturn l200 brights come on when you use your turn signals?

The answer is, a shorted turn signal switch. I just replaced mine after experiencing the same thing. Be careful, if you wait too long, it can short internally and start smoking or catch fire. I experienced the "Smoking Switch" and quickly removed the 10 amp fuse under the hood for the turn signals, then replaced it. Good Luck.
