Head Light Switch

[jdool76]

My parking lights, dash lights, and tail lights are not working,but my head lights are fine. Turn signals work, hazzard light fine, and brake lights work and I am running my rear fog lights to act as my tail lights. I have checked fuses they look fine. I have heard of a head light switch causing the problem. Anyone have any idea where it is located and how to remove the thing? Or any other suggestions?

They don't have speed... so they use stealth.

Headlight switch. When I had identical issues, I removed the switch (take off the covers around the steering) undo a screw and the swtich slides out. It might be a little stiff and needs to slide straight on the rails to come out so take it easy. I sprayed a bunch contact cleaner inside down where the stalk enters the unit, to give the contacts a good cleaning. You can probably take it apart, but spraying the cleaner and working the switch did it for me. Been fine for 2 months now, for how long, I don't know, but a new one is something like $150..

I had the same issues on my 95 disco. You need to turn the stearing wheel to get to the two screws on the headlight switch. I cleaned the switch and has worked great for over a year now. The whole fix took just over an hour.
