Really simple ask here. I've bought two new Hi/Low beam headlight switches for my 85 Blazer and I think both are faulty but I can't help but think I've missed something. When I jump the yellow to both high and low beam wires at the plug (from the hi/low beam switch) all the lights work as they should (signals, high and low beams, etc.). So, it's pretty simple, it has to be the switch ya? None of mine (3 including the old one) make a clicking noise when the switch is "activated", can anyone confirm that theirs does (makes a clicking sound)? I hate taking another one back if it's something I'm not getting/understanding.

Have you tried to adjust the switch? It sounds like the plunger isn’t being pushed into the switch far enough to cycle.
