I ended up pulling out the light switch and spraying it with contact cleaner. Both the low beams and high beams now work. I think I may still replace the light switch, but working now.

Thanks jaekormtb - but did you have the same problem with the hi beams not working also? I have problem with both hi beams and low beams.

Thanks very much Loren. I suspect it is the headlight switch. But why do the hi beams not work? Do they even use the headlight switch? I thought they are only controlled by the stalk/lever on the steering column? Do you know if I have to remove the steering wheel if I am just trying to clean the stalk/lever switch or can I get access without removing the steering wheel.

hello, I was hoping someone could help. I have a 996 2003. Recently the low beams stopped working and then I noticed that the high beams also don't turn on. Low beams - I rotate the headlight switch - the parking lights come on, but when I rotate to next position (low beam position) the low beams do not come on. High beams - I use the stalk lever to turn on high beams. Pushing it forward, it clicks into position, but the high beams do not come on. I pull it backwards (temporary position) and the high beams DO come on. I checked the fuses and they are all okay. I checked the voltage at the fuse - for low beams, I do not see any voltage at the fuse when I turn the light switch on. For the high beams, I do not see any voltage at the fuse when I turn the stalk/lever to high beam position (but I do see voltage there when I pull the stalk/lever to the temporary high beam position). I think it is the switch, but that would mean BOTH the headlight switch and the stalk/lever are bad? I saw the message about cleaning/bending the stalk/lever switch to maybe fix the stalk/lever problem. Do I have to remove the steering wheel if I am just trying to clean the switch or can I get access without removing the steering wheel. Thanks for any help you can give me
