Subject:Re: no headlights cept pulling back on turn signal stick - 87 westy

The ignition switch is dead.  The bit that goes to
the load reduction relay has packed it in.  To fix it, involves
removing the steering wheel (24mm socket), removing the ignition assembly
(8mm allen) and then removing the switch (Phillips screw driver).

This has happened to me too many times and it is really a very dumb
design.  What I have done now as removed the current going through
the ignition switch by using a relay that I located behind the glove
compartment.
