But in regards to the high beam switch:
"IMPOSSIBLE. You changed something else besides the switch. You changed the wiring somewhere. Did you change headlight wiring, change the sockets?
OR your cluster is not grounded"

The switch is just a plug in repair thats all I did. Never touched anything else. Maybe my size 13EEE hit a wire when shifting over the years! I'll have to due some further investigation and get back to you guys.
