Backed out of the garage early this a.m. to go to a C&C down in Pinehurst only to discover that my right side (front and rear) running lights were not on however, they would burn when I turned on the right turn signal but would go out as soon as I returned the stalk. Putting the headlight switch in "parking" or "headlights" made no difference. I happened on the solution by accident: I pressed on the center of the headlight switch **** and, lo and behold, the running lights came on. Repeated pressing and checking validated the fix. Apparently, the contacts inside the switch had oxided and just needed a little "persuasion".

Maybe hose the switch out with a little spray electronic/electric motor cleaner to improve general conductivity in the switch?

Yep, "Speedy", knew that. It was my "test" to determine that it wasn't something so simple as a burned out bulb. That's when I started suspecting the switch and found that pushing on the **** must've cleaned the contacts.
