I tried searching for this and I didn't see what I was looking for...My brights have suddenly decided to turn on by themselves along with the dims. I tried turning them off, but I cant, there is not a clicking noise, so I figured it was the dimmer switch. Now to my question, Is there anyway to swap out the dimmer switch without tearing the steering column completely apart?

Yeah the dimmer switch isn't actually in the column its at the base of it right above the brake pedal. There's a rod that runs down from the turn signal lever to the dimmer switch. If there's no click the rod might have come out.

 

I agree that the actuator rod is likely the problem. It has either come out as mentioned above, or it needs to be bent a little to work right. In any event, it looks like you'll need to get under the dash and look at the way the rod is seated in the dimmer switch.

 

Thanks! I had to disconnect my bright bulbs... hopefully this will fix the problem!
