It has been my experience on my '78 that these two items are repairable.

My headlight switch just needed to be recrimped to bring the contacts up tighter.

The relay on the fender has the low/high beams. The contacts needed cleaning. The arm that moves to flip them gets stuck or sticky in there. It has been a long time in that can and some TLC maybe all it needs.

Moisture creeps in. Same thing for the little squre relay next to that. It controls the 0-2 sensor and the frequency valve circuits after start up.

Just a chance your may have the same wear. I thought you might be into just playing with their innards, so to speak!
