    Default High Beam on VK SL

    OK, now this is gonna sound like a really stupid question...

    I have just bought an 85 VK Commodore SL and I am wondering how to turn on the High Beams and keep them on . I can get them so that they flash but they won't stay on, they just go back to low beams. Is there some secret way of engaging them (I haven't owned a holden before) or is my indicator Stalk stuffed.

    Cheers, Stuart

    No Stupid Questions at all. Welcome to the forum.

    All you do is pull the indicator stalk back towards the steering wheel and high beam _should_ engage. If it only flashes odds are your indicator stalk is stuffed.


    cheers

    OK Thanks.

    I did go to install a brand new one, but it fried itself when I was testing it. Annoyingly the warranty statement on the back says it has a 6 month warranty but does not cover burnt wires!!
