http://www.evwparts.co…ry_Code=QuantumElectrical

Tried another switch in it already, i believe that it works fine after multimetering it plus there is little chance in both switches giving the same problems?! Maybe ill buy a new one and see from there..!

Ignition on pull to flash ? Does the main beam warning lamp illuminate ?
You have a strange problem here with it all being light related , before you buy any bits check all the connections on the fuze board and the steering column and the light switch wiring block .

I had an issue whereby I could not operate the rear wiper relay. These stalk mounted switches have little contact points that close the circuit as you pull/push the stalk. My contacts had worn over years of use. I just dismantled the stalks and put a tiny blob of solder to renew the contact - worked a treat!
Cheers

I had a similar problem and new stalk fixed it for me, see post below as it has some further info on checking you have perm +12v to the stalk first.
The gsf ones are ok, but not as good build quality as the original.

I would also check you have the right stalk, I think if you disassemble you may find its the washer stalk you need not the indicator stalk, certainly was on myn.
I know that sounds odd as its the indicator one you pull, but it actually clips into a switch on the side of the washer stalk. Its this switch assembly that on myn had signs of melting inside when taken apart.
Marked it with a red dot on the pic below.
by the way also remove the white tab for intermittant wipe, if new one has it in place.

The main beam flash part of the indicator stalk actually connects to the wiper stalk and all the electrical connections for main beam are in the wiper stalk. If you have recently removed the two stalks on the steering column, then there could be a chance that they have not been put back together correctly, check if the two stalks are connected together correctly.

So I would try a new stalk, or one from someone you know that does work.
When I opened up my stalk, the sliding plates had got covered slightly with melted plastic, giving the above symptoms.
By the way the quick flash works if the ignition is on or off.
Would also open up dif posts on your other electrical queries.
