'86 Lincoln Town Car high-beams won't stay on perfect every time. I can get it to work fine, but not fine enough to pass inspection. How do you change the high-beams?

When you switch the lever on the steering wheel both high-beams will flash but not stay on. If I switch and release it gently, they will. Unfortunately that doesn't fly with the inspection place. I imagine I need to change the bulbs or there might be dust in the sockets. Is that my problem? If so, how do I access and change the high-beam bulbs?

SOURCE: changing turn signal switch 1986 lincoln town car.

No just remove the bottom cover then you should be able to push the upper cover up enough to clear so you can get to the 2 screws in the switch then remove and disconnect the connectors.
If you can not get enough clearance with the upper cover on then you will have to remove the ignition lock cylinder to remove the upper cover. To remove lock cylinder just turn to on position then look under the lock cylinder on the steering column and you will see a small hole,take a pick or small screw driver and stick it into hole to push button on lock cylinder then pull it out.

SOURCE: Have 89 Lincoln Town Car,

to turn off auto dimmer there will be a dial behind the headlight knob. There is a min to max, if dial is turned to min the auto dimmer will be turned off. Moving the dial between dim range and max with change the distance from other cars that the high beams will go off at.Max increases the distance from other cars that it will turn off at.

Is Blue Lite For High Beam Supposed T oStay on when clicked?

To clarify, when you pull the turn signal lever towards you, the high beam lights will come on only as long as you hold the lever up. This is the flash to pass feature.
To switch the headlights from low beam to high beam, you push down on the lever towards the dash. Then the high beam lights and the blue indicator light should stay on.

I can't find the fuse on the high beam or low beam on this 1984 lincoln town car....or the circuit breaker

The circuit breaker for the headlights is inside the headlight switch.
But if your low beams work and the high beams don't, the problem may be in the dimmer switch.

97 linc town car/ at night the auto head lights turn on. on low beam, works fine then when using turn signal the headlights go out. hit signal arm to high beam, and the lights come on, then i put back on...

You have a bad mutifunction switch or headlight switch is going bad and is over heating then cooling off comming back on Have a mechanic check it cause there are other things that can cause this. Since it's not blowing a fuse at this time I would say the head light switch is bad.
