Main beam playing up.

[rs2315]

Main beam stalk starting to play up.
Main beam will not come on, unless stalk is FIRMLY pushed forward, and when pulling stalk towards me to flash lights, I'm getting nothing at all.
Is this a well known problem on a 14 year old RS2?
Any advice on what to do to sort it would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Well got there in the end
Before I set about removing steering wheel and upper and lower covers, I thought about spraying some cleaner fluid into the rectangled slot just above the main beam stalk. When you flick stalk on and off you can see internal components moving through the rectangled slot.
Figured that was a good place to aim for.
After spraying, started flicking stalk on and off a few times, and hey presto, main beam came back to life along with flasher.
Good as new.
The stuff I used was from Halfords. It's non oily and can be used on electrical components and the like. Just under £4 for a can.


The moral of the story is, when you flash someone to pull out, and the silly sod just sits there like a clown.
Well it's probably time to spray your stalk
