Default Trouble with dimmer switch

Recently I went to flip my high beams on and nothing happened . I flipped them back and forth a few times and they came on . When I flip the handle ford the blue high beam light doesn't come on if they don't . I can flash my high beams by pulling the handle and everything is fine . But sometime my high beams come on like they should sometimes I flip the switch many times before they come on. I have tried to remove dimmer switch to inspect but can figure out how to remove it . Any write ups on this I have tried seaches but can't find any info for this model ? Thank

If you look up the part for the switch headlight switch, you'll notice its a stalk. So you have to pull the steering wheel to replace it. It slides over the steering column. Its not really a big deal. Sometimes you can pull the steering wheel just by wiggling it and sometimes you need an actual puller. I don't think this is related to the dimmer switch though. That just dims the dashboard lights.

That what I was thinking after looking at the picture online . I don't think it the dimmer for the dashboard lights . It's the headlight dimmer switch. It seems to be a two peice design one peice controls the on off fuctions for the lights and one peice for the headlight dimmer . Thanks for the info
