Highbeams stuck on - on a 1984 nissan 720 pickup. High beam switch was replaced 2 years ago, you turn the headlights on, and they are stuck on highbeam. Using switch has no effect

If the dip switch is working ok , check for a faulty relay, the contacts could be stuck or fused.

Highbeams work, low beams do not. wipers only work when highbeams are on. highbeams work but only when you HOLD the turn signal lever towards the steering wheel. all other lights work. relay switch or...

The problem is most likely your cars multi function switch. That is the switch that controls your blinkers, dimmer, and everything else. If you change the switch that should solve your problem.

Headlights go out

If your Highbeam Switch is on your streering colum (turn signal lever) Thats where I would start too look! It could be the wires to the highbeam switch. I had that happen on my ford. But if the highbeam switch is on the floor, check for a bad circut connection and if that checks ok it might be your main headlight switch! Even though you may not loose your highbeams, your main headlight power still runs through that highbeam switch, and being on the colum thats why the would start to function when you move the shifter.

I need the name of the actual switch on the wheel

You knew the name of it, it's in your question, highbeam switch! Ahhh... the good old days... the highbeam switch was foot operated, remove 2 screws, unplug wire, that was all there was to fixing it.
