My high beams went out last night all at once. Switched from low to high and boom, total dark. Not a real comfort when blowing down dark back roads at 75+. Anyway went through all the fuses and all are fine. Highs will come on when you pull the high flash mode on the turn signal. Is there a relay somwhere or is this a switch problem? I am thinking switch since I get no power to the lamps unless I pull the turn signal. If a switch how hard is it to get to?

Sounds like the combo switch needs to be replaced. You'll have to pull the steering wheel and somewhat disassemble the steering column. The switch has about a foot or more of cable whcih makes connection in the dash. Not too terribly difficult, a good DIY job.
