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 |

Yup, that's how it works! I'm not sure about the Six, though. The 911 (of 1982 vintage) works differently--the relay is not latching, the switch has the latching mechanism. Which I need to get out there and replace some time soon...
