Can someone please help me with this. My girl friend is out of town for the weekend and during her drive, people started flashing their high beams at her. She hit the dimmer and the dash light indicated that she was on her low beams, but she wasn't. No matter what she did, the lights would not dim. To top it off, when she reached her destination, the lights would not turn off. They wouldn't turn off and still wouldn't change from high to low beam. Called a mechanic and finaly got the lights to turn off. I'm thinking it's the dimmer switch in the steering column that has gone bad or shorted out. Any ideas? Can someone, pardon the pun, shed some light on this for me? Any idea what it's gonna cost to have that dimmer switch replaced?

Thanks very much.

I thinking, if the dash light indicator working correctly, and idicating high\low beams, dimmer switch in the steering column, is ok. It may be high\low beams relay, or body control module, which controlling all in this car.. May be diagnose it before replace that dimmer switch?
