I have a 98 camaro and it has the same problem. I found that if i took off the top cover for the shifter i can push down on the housing and my high beams will come on.. I found a small plastic piece that came off. Try opening and looking. I heard that alot of camaros have this problem. The switch goes bad.

The 96 Camaro's high beams wires do not run anywhere near the shift lever that is on the floor of the 1996 Camaro. It is built into the turn signal selector which is on the steering column. Your problem is either your relay (under the hood in the little box on the driver's side, you have to remove the top to access it) or your turn signal selector. Does the turn signal selector click when you pull it back? If it does click you probably need a new relay. If it does not click you will need to pull the steering wheel to get to that selector and change it. Also look behind the turn signal selector there is a small wire connector that if it comes loose your high beams and cruise control will not work. Often you can connect these wires and get everything back.
