Default Headlamp flashers - how are they supposed to work?

Hi all,

I've just received my 1968 Amazon 121, and I've been excitedly checking everything out. It's a new car to me, and it's been fun discovering stuff. However, I've stumbled on something which I'm not sure is working quite properly?

I do understand that the footswitch is used in conjunction with the dashboard switch, to go to and from main-beam to high-beam. That seems to work fine.

However, I think something is wrong with the indicator stalk flash functionality... With the lights off, when I pull the stalk towards me as if to flash my lights, the main-beams come on, but when I let go of the stalk they stay on. If I pull it again, the high-beams come on as well. When I let go, I'm back to main-beams only. But they never completely turn off! In order to turn them off, I have to pull the dashboard light switch out and push it all the way in again.

It doesn't feel like this is how it's supposed to work. Is there a wrong wiring connection or a faulty switch somewhere? Can anyone help me figure this issue out?

Thanks!
Ric
