I have a 2002 Chevy Cavalier. The running lights work, but the headlight and high beams shut off while driving down the road and the only way to keep them on is to pull slightly back on the switch. What is the problem?

How easy is it to replace the switch by yourself?

You have to disarm the air-bag and remove steering wheel, to get started. Easy is a relative term, I never do anything the easy way. Lol
