Default Brights lever doesn't work :(

My brights are stuck on. The blinkers work fine it's just when I try to move the lever toward me it doesn't click and if I move it away from me nothing happens. Do I have to replace the lever or the switch in the steering colum ???

There is a rod connecting the lever to the switch. See if the rod moves when you operate the lever.

No and the switch is moving way back there. The brights are stuck on and I can't get them off

Sounds like to me that the dimmer switch is either defective or has come loose. Either way, you have to get access to it.

try getting plyers on the shaft and see if you can help it dim the lights. either the lever mount is moving to much or switch is shot. here is some info on the coluum. https://camaroforums.com/forum/93-02...mn-info-64804/ be better to download the factory service/shop manual here https://www.mediafire.com/?40mfgeoe4ctti

More Information for AIRTEX / WELLS 3K9

$2 at Rock Auto, just re-route to a floor switch and call it done
