    for some reason my high beams quit working. you can pull the light switch towards you and they come on but when you push it away from you to keep them on the lights go out. any ideas? could it be the switch?

    Dimmer switch. You can replace it or replace the whole combination switch

    Or take 20 minutes and pull the switch off and open it up to clean the contacts with an emery board and fix it the one you have.
