Default High beam not working
When I have my high beams on some times the turn off by theirselves. I will be driving and then all of a sudden I have no lights. I have to pull the light switch back and hold it in order to use my high beams. Please help.

I had the same problem on my 2001 coupe. More than likely your multi function switch is bad. It's easy to replace but $$$$.

Agreed. Sounds like the MFS. You can take it apart and carefully file/clean the contacts or just replace it.
