Quick steering column combination switch question

My high beams stopped working. Checked battery, alternator and replaced fuses.

Still no luck.

The electric steering column adjuster switch allows the steering wheel to go out (towards driver) but not back to the instrument cluster.

If I get a new combination switch does it include the steering column switch or is that a separate part?

Many thanks for your help.

Three different questions

1.The Combination Switch:
Turns signals, Bright lights (AND signaling with "Brights"),and Wiper/Wash functions.
IS SEPARATE from
2.The switch that controls the Electric motor that moves the
Steering Wheel Fore and Aft.
3.Headlights could be:Headlights Switch(Unlikely that it's the Ignition Switch...But),Fuses,Relays,Wiring,Bulbs.

Time to break out the DMM and start Spelunking.

Thanks for the response.

I pried out the steering column adjuster switch. Cleaned it up and that now works.

Gonna go dive in with the Multi meter and see if I have continuity between pin 1 and 2 for high beam and 2 and 11 for flashing high beam per Sixto's instructions in post #8 of this thread. Dead High Beams

Good news

Well the combination switch showed the proper continuity. That will save me some money but the high beams still don't work.

Now I have to trace the wire to the Relay, fuse and then to the headlights and figure out what is causing this problem.

When I put the lights on high beam, I don't get a failure notice nor do I get a high beam indicator light on the dash.

I tried to pull the N7 relay but it was still attached to all the wires. Any secret in pulling this?
