Hi/low switch
Alright so I’m driving home tonight and my hi beams and low beams works but occasionally I have to do it a few times for them to trigger over and now it stopped all together I’m on my low beams and can’t turn my high beams on where do I start is it the lever on the column that went bad or something else
mind that both my turn signals still work and so does my cruse control just the hi/low doesn’t

On my 93. Under dash follow steel rod from the steering wheel light lever to the switch. It follows the steering column. The switch is adjustable. Two screws hold the switch. Mine were difficult to get to. After loosening the switch I could move it to where the switch lever worked properly. I only had to move it a small distance.

Do you have the FSM(Factory/Field Service Manual) for your car? It's well covered there for diagnostics but if you reach up under the column with the lower cover removed you should be able to feel the dimming rod and check for movement while operating the lever. Generally a dimmer switch clicks, have you lost the slight audible click?
Here's a generic Saginaw tilt column that explains operation of dimmer and assemble of.
