These turn signal switch units should be readily available new from Moss =
Motors and other distributers. I replaced mine at one point several =
years ago in my 71 BGT (most parts now in my 72B).

Also, to be sure, test the switch while the cowl is still off to insure =
the high beam part is working and not partially obstructed by the cowl.

I hope somebody comes up with the answer to this, as I have exactly the =
same problem on our =E2=80=9871 B/GT.

=20

After removing the steering column cowl (and putting it back together =
without breaking the plastic where the screws go is even harder than =
removal=E2=80=94good thing we had another one in the spares bin!) I =
noticed that the contact that apparently completes the =
forward-for-high-beam circuit was no longer there=E2=80=94apparently =
burned away.  So I raided our spares bin for a used stalk=E2=80=94from =
another year, as it has icons on it that the one in the car =
doesn=E2=80=99t, but the plug and all the wire colors matched and the =
=E2=80=9Cmissing=E2=80=9D contact was there=E2=80=94and plugged it in =
while things were still apart.  Still no high beams (though, like Jack, =
I can flash them by pulling the stalk backward), so I put everything =
back together with the original stalk, and try not to drive the car at =
night....

=20

Help us both!
