Headlight issue, High beams don't stay on? Options

[ewdysar]

So my high beams don't stay on. They light up while I've got the lever pulled back but they go dark when I let go. Even the blue indicator works in sync with the lights themselves, lit while they're on and off when they're dark. The low beams work normally, they turn on on the next cycle of the switch and remain on until cycled again (see above). The green parking light indicator works as it should. I would like to get this straightened out before I install the H4's sitting in their boxes.

The car did sit for 13 years, in a garage until I moved to a house with no garage for the last year.

I'm hoping this sounds familiar to someone here...

TIA,
Eric

Unless the relay has a catch / latch built in when the hi beam is triggered it stays on, then its in the colom switch. If the relay and hi beam work while holding the switch in the colom tells me the relay and lights are working. The relay is the simple thing to blame but I think everyone on this post may be wrong. A relay only works when voltage is applied to it's coil unless it has an mechinal catch or latch built in it??
