I had concluded that a switch failure was unlikely and was blaming the BSI box. Thank goodness I did one last Google and this post turned up, hooray!!<br /><br />Anyway, I followed Phil's method and it does seem to be fixed ok now. <br /><br />Its worth noting though, that stage 4 is pretty difficult. To get the cover off from the 6 lugs (3 each side) needed a combination of pressing down hard on the top pointy end of a lug and at the same time prising the edge of the cover upwards to give a bit of room for the lug to slide under it, and at the same time prising the cover away with a fine 1/8" screwdriver blade in the tiny gap between the cover and the main body. You need to work round all 6, and watch out that one might snap back into lock, while you're working on another! Also the very outer lug on each side needed a screwdriver up the hole behind it to lift the plastic cover up from the lug.<br /><br />I used an illuminated magnifying bench light, as it's pretty hard to see what's going on with these tiny black-on-black plastic retaining lugs.<br /><br />I took some close up photos but can't see a way to post them here, but willing to email them if anyone would like them.<br /><br />PhilPhil (a different one!)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07348459285193474342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-49891819090761793702019-06-29T09:08:56.102+00:002019-06-29T09:08:56.102+00:00This post must be so old but it saved me !!!!

I know you posted this in 2009. It is now...Hi Phil,<br />I know you posted this in 2009. It is now 2016 and I was encouraged by your courage to pull the switch apart. My problem was somewhat different in that my Dim headlights did not work (Brights were fine). I checked the bulbs - Ok, I checked the fuses under the steering wheel - Ok, I checked the fuses in the engine compartment - Ok. <br />I looked up on several sites, all of which suggested removing the steering wheel with the possibility of being gob smacked by the airbag. <br />On fiddling with the switch, I actually managed to get the lights on if I pushed the rotation hard.<br />Taking your advice I removed the switch, tore it apart and realized the components I needed to repair were on the other side of the switch. So with your courage in my wings, I removed the other side of the switch too. There was my problem, one of the sprung contacts (whatever you call them) had got stuck in it's sleeve probably due to heat. Using a paper clip I removed the spring and contact, then using combinations of a craft knife and a drill bit, I cleaned up the melted plastic. In putting it back together, the spring and contact would not stay in so I put a drop of super glue on the end, popped it in, and Bob's your aunty. Re assembled it, and it works beautifully.<br />Thanks for your advise. I have photos which I would love to show but don't know how.<br /><br />Mike Patrick<br />South AfricaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-21271011272602774502015-11-17T11:10:39.985+00:002015-11-17T11:10:39.985+00:00Great stuff Mate.

I also have a feeling that the 52 plate will have a different switch to mine, looking at comments above the design changed over time. <br /><br />What I suggest is try taking the casing off and sticking a vacuum cleaner nozzle in every hole you can see to suck out any detritus. That <i>might</i> save you taking things apart. However, I suspect you need a new switch. Of course, if you can get a second hand spare, it might be that once the cover is off, the way of fitting it becomes obvious which would still save some cash. <br /><br />Good luck. <br />Phil Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673614093646938053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-12144882589170606172015-10-13T17:05:26.442+00:002015-10-13T17:05:26.442+00:00I've a 52 plate Pug.

A quick nudge to the stalk gets indicator going again, only to have to repeat the process. Using full beam is a pain in the butt as they won't stay on. Before I follow your above instructions, do you think they will solve the issues or am I looking at a new stalk?
