I had a similar problem on my RX7. The switches are wearing out. That switch and the windshield wiper switch has failed. Problem is the cost. They run about $300.
I replaced mine with a simple toggle switch.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 1990 Mazda Media high beam lights dont work

That is going to be a bad multi-function switch, which is the actual signal switch and highbeam switch. Is not too hard to replace if you have basic hand tools and some ambition.

SOURCE: High beam headligts will not come on + no dash

Sounds like a bad switch to me. If it was a relay,it would not work period.Not to mention, the switch controls the dash lights too.

SOURCE: The high beam indicator is on. The low beams don't work.

You need a new headlight dimmer switch located on the steering column between the dash and the firewall

SOURCE: 1982 rx7 head light hi beam does not work, but you

I had a similar problem with one of my head lights. It turned out that all i needed to do was clean off the electrical leads. I started with the head lights and work my way to the steering column. I used cue tips with vinegar. Then alcohol to clean them.

Low and high beam headlights don't work. Parking lights, break lights, turn signals all work. Two weeks I had to buy a new battery and but before I bought the battery both low and high beam lights worked...

More than likely there is a bad ground. The same ground wire that is used for the headlights is spliced into and used for the parking lights, brake lights and directional lights. The circuits for the brake lights, the brake light switch, the directions and directional switch are related. The circuits for the parking lights, headlights, headlight switch and high/low beam switch are related as well, but the only thing all these circuits have in common is their ground source. Any questions feel free to write back. Good Luck.

I have a problem with the low beams on my headlights. The high beams works just fine. All of the other lights(turn signal, emergency lights, etc.) work except for the low beams.

Check the fuses first. then replace the turn signal switch if all fuses are good. All the lights run threw it, except the high brake light on the rear.

High beams arent working

Sounds like the high beam switch is bad. It is located in conjunction with your turn signal.

My 1984 chevrolet silverado high beams lights works and low beam lights, turning lights, emergency light and brakes lights don't work. I need help!

Those lights are on different circuits. The high and low beam lights are powered thru the headlight switch, the turn signals, brake, and hazards go thru the turn signal switch.
I would want to know if each circuit has power at the switch that controls it.
