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

Man, I love this board. Quick answers to obscure questions. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Of course, I haven't actually tried the latest suggestion yet, from what I understand most the advice on this board could lead to the early demise of my new relay, or the whole car could go up in flames, or there might be a huge crater where my house used to be. I'll be trying this when I get home so keep a watch on the news for unusual flying objects or seismic activity around Pasadena tonight (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
