High Beam toggle wont work

Pushing the toggle forward to "lock" the high beams on doesn't work. However, pulling the toggle back to "flicker" the high beams on and off does work. It sucks not being able to use your high beams. Its probably a connection issue. Please help, thanks.

The exact same thing happened to me a few months ago. I tried to fix the switch but wasn't successful, so ended up buying a replacement combination switch from a wrecker. You could either do what I did and replace the whole thing, or you could just replace the headlight stalk, although this requires a lot more effort since you have to remove the pins from the electrical connector. Alternatively, you could remove the switch and see if the contacts are making a proper connection.

yeah, you are going to need to replace the switch/stalk if you can't clean up the connections.
