Exclamation high beam/fog switch mix up

Hey guys,

Got a little bit of an issue with the fog light switch which I can't figure out for the life of me. The fog light is no longer working, checked the fuse, it was fine, for the heck of it, I even changed to a new 15A fuse...nothing. Then I realized, the damn fog light switch is now controlling the high beam!!! When I turn the fog light switch to on, it turns the headlights to high beam!!! what the??? the blue light in the dash that indicates the high beam on is no longer working whether the high beam is activated through the normal way or the new fog light switch way.

So please...could someone help? I don't even know where to start and have no idea what caused this.

thanks alot.

If not that maybe you need a new stalk.

find a local wrecker and swap out the stalk, it's easy and should be a cheap part.
