Hey guys,

So on my 2014 Mustang, my high beams only flash for split second when I pull the lever towards me, then they turn off even if the lever is being held in that position. This is however not the case while the headlights are turned on.

Is there anyway to by-pass or re-wire the lights to let the high beams stay on for as long as the lever is pulled towards me?
During day-time when the lights are not running

Thanks!

It's called 'flash to pass'. My 2011 does the same as yours. Maybe just pull the lever toward you two or three times, when the headlights aren't on......I went by a 'speed trap' a few weeks ago and gave a line of speeding cars the one flash, they all slowed down to the speed limit. The one quick flash does get peoples attention

Just yesterday while on a 2 lane curvy road someone gave me the quick flash of their headlights. I slowed down while in the middle of a curve. A guy was on the side of the road pushing a riding lawnmower. The one quick flash does get your attention
