High  beam switch was intermittent and now does not work at all.  Dash 
light  does not come on.  Then when I checked the turn signals, they would act  
in a spastic manner.  Since the gas guage was flashing I moved all the  
under dash grounds.  Also moved the fuses and made sure they were all  good.  
After this, key turned to system energized the turn signals  started going and 
in a spastic manner.  Turn on the emergancy, right or  left signal, and for 
a while would work normally then right started  spasing.  Removing and 
reinstalling relay made all signals stop and now  have no lights in the gas 
guage.

This is in my '71 Squareback with  rebuilt turn signal switch by Adney.  
Could of it failed?  I need  the Squareback in functional order by Saturday so 
kind of short on  time.





Sounds like the 4 way switch has some crud in it. You might try removing  
the knob portion, and spray some contact cleaner in it and cycle it a few 
times.  Even Russ had come across this. You can do a search on the Samba for 
his reply.  ;^)
