Brights turned on by themselves
 
Hey fellas my high beams turned on by themselves and they won't turn off now. My multifunctional switch couldn't have caused it to my knowledge because after I swapped it when the old one died I lost some piece that let them turn on like normal(pulling it back). I never used them so I didn't stress bout it. So what can I do to get them off besides tearing into the column again? any fuses or wires I can remove? Thanks!

check out the Dimmer switch, 35$ at dealer or napa, under dash on left upper side of column, one plug, 2 screws (tough to get at but a can do) no need to pull column. your signal rod activates when pulled back. I'v e burned thru a couple. now I use the powr thru the dimmer to control a relay i added. the relay puts the powre to the lights, no burned out dimmer since. of course there is the majic formula for jeep preventative maintenance: oh ya, i carry a spare switch. What ever part, if you have a spare, that part will no longer fail. check your dimmer switch for burned contacts at the light green coloured wires.
