Super-sensitive high beams

My high beams are ultra-sensitive. If I go over a bump at night they're likely to turn on. Ditto for when I use my turn signals. Needless to say, other drivers curse my very existence at night.

I took the combination switch (i.e. the turn signal lever) out of the steering column last night and had a look at it. I thought maybe I could figure out how to fix this problem, but no dice. There was no obvious (to me, anyway) solution. When I reinstalled it I discovered it was worse.

Tightening the mounting screws a little more will probably get it back to its previous level of sensitivity, but the screws were very tight when I removed it so I doubt I can fix the problem entirely that way.

Oh, and my high beams no longer work in flash mode, i.e. when I pull back on the lever.

So before I go looking for a used combo switch, anyone have any insight into this problem?
