Hello all, Im trying to determine what headlight switch I have. My van is an '87. My switch has the 8 pins on the back. When ordering, the 8 pins are called the "M" switch. My 8pin switch has "T" at the end of the part number on the back of the switch. Also.... some of the pins on the switch don't have wires in the plug to contact them. I am trying to track down a "NO HIGHBEAM" issue. Could I have some wires that pulled out of the plug? Everything was fine last week but I had been tugging around on things a bit while installing the cluster. Thanks GreggK

The headlight switch has only 1 main power out that is shared by both high and low beams.
