1: Disconnect the battery and put he steering wheel in the up-right position.

2: Took the rubber boot, that covers the bottom half of the switch, and pulled it out and up over the lever then and it in place with a rubber band.

3: Then I tied the lever up, the same position as your high-beam, to the steering wheel to keep it out of the way.

4: If you look to the left of the lever in the column you can see 5 round brass contacts with small holes in the center arranged in a half circle. Those are contacts that have to be cleaned.

5: Spray the contact cleaner then spray the dry air to dry the housing out, do this for about 4 or 5 times, rotate the headlight switch for each time you spray.

6: Let the car stand for 15 to 20 minutes to insure that its dry and thats it.

7: Re-connect the battery, reset the date and time and your done.

It worked for me on my ‘97, hope this helps.

Great info, This also fixed my 99 Aurora crazy light show... Thanks
