I would pull and clean the hi-lo switch from the floor. Squirt WD40 into it and cycle the switch several times. Just a place to start.

you can clean them for free if you have some DW40, unless it is extremely crusty. very easy fix, spray up under the plunger (cap) and click the switch and spray several times until the fish-oil comes out clean.

alright ill try that guys thanks!
on my 68 dart I had one of the wires almost broke off and would cause it to on off till the high didnt not come on
also had the head light switch burn up causeing the light to go off and on when it got hot
low and high would just go out on that one..
check the wires and plug and clean the switch with wd-40 like said

The headlight switch itself has a breaker in it and will shut off the high beams and allow the low beams to work, I would clean the floor switch first, if the problem is still there change out the headlight on/off switch in the dash....Phill
