Default high beam switch intermittent.

Hi guys, I need a check of my logic. My high beams are taking a couple of goes to get on yet the flash still works fine. I'm presuming that as they both operate the same relay that the problem is confined to the switch rather than a relay buried somewhere inscrutable. Sound right? That's if applying huge amounts of contact cleaner and wiggling it a lot has no effect.

Second question is has anyone replaced one of these? On a scale of one to ten how difficult would it be for a baboon with screwdrivers, a club hammer and some gaffer tape to swap? I've done it on 60's and 70's vintage cars but nothing modern with motors and funny stuff in there. I would presume it's not that much of an ar$eache but you never know.

Bill
