How do you fix a tilt steering column that the low beam headlights go out when you lower the tilt down?

The problem is in the multi- function switch (turn signal, high beams, cruise control, windshield wipers). Switch P/N 26091771 or 26100985, the wires become brittle over time and with the use of the tilt steering moving back and forth the wire/wires break away from the switch causing headlights not to work. To repair you must remove steering wheel, housing around steering column. It's difficult to repair by reconnecting the wire/wires as the connector on the switch is permanently attached to switch. Not saying it can't be done it's just difficult. If you are handy and have knowledge of electrical wire/connector repair you should be able to fix it. The easier repair but costly one is to go and buy a new switch (which can cost up to $280.00 or more) and just replace the entire unit.

Pull the turn signal lever toward you. If the high beams do not come on, but the headlights work, it is most likely a problem with the high beam switch located at the base of the steering column. The switch is white in color, and has a metal rod that runs down the steering column to operate it. You can check that the metal rod is in the switches retainer, it is common for the metal rod to pop out.

there are two switchs in the steering column meaning pull back it hits a switch to flash and when you push it forward there is another to make them stay on. sounds like you need to replace the switch should be as simple as removing the steering column cover.
