High beams only after turn on the headlights

In my 85 DX cabby i only get high beams after turn on the lights. That means that i dont have high beams during a normal day, with the headlights ussualy off.

Is it normal?

Another thing, is it possible to install a buzzer for when the lights are on with the car turned off?

The high beams will only come on with the headlights off when you flash the lights.  If they don't then you have an issue with the flash part of the switch.

If the headlights are on, then yes your highs will come on when you flash or click the handle.

Yes to the second there is a buzzer relay that you can add to the circuit.  The how-to-do-that is in the archive section how-to's

Meanwhile, I've bought a new stalk for the turning signals (where high beams are done!) but only after put my hands on, discovered that high beams are controled by the connectors of windscreen wipers…   I've opened the mechanism and it seems all ok. Will have to study that!

Regarding the other subject…Just to add info, bought the relay but its only working (making noise) if the lights are on (OK), ignition OFF (OK) and windscreen wipers are ON (WTH!?   )

I'll have to see whats wrong with it also!  

 

With the lights on buzzer relay try putting the fan blower on and see it that helps, mine only works if fan is left in position 1,2,3….

ehhehe, new one!

Gots me Thunking which is a bad thing, I know that the X circuit relay (load reduction) has some quirkiness when it goes flaky.

Try this.

Clean all your Ground connections that is Battery, Frame tie, and engine/tranny.
