I was driving late at night and had to switch to FULL BEAM mode ... but having put full beam on i had to HOLD it there ... is this right? or is there a fault with the car i bought?

Other cars i have driven u can just put it in full beam and leave it there until i cancel it.

Oh on another note i posted a reques to see if someone can upload a manual for my 1999 Automatic twin cam Excel ... does anyone have one?


Many thanks

 

If you are pulling the blinker stalk towards yourself to engage the high beams, that position is for flashing the high beams and is spring loaded as you have found out. Push the stalk all the way forward to engage the high beams and then pull back to the center position for low beams.
