First of all you don't mention a year or have anything in your profile!
If it's a dimmer switch problem and not a mechanical problem in the upper column you don't need to get into the column. The switch is mounted towards the base of the column near the ignition switch. If you bought a new switch you'll know what to look for and the replacement is "very straight forward"!
If you're into the mechanical operation of the upper column it's another "whole new deal"!
The cancelling cam isn't retained by screws!

The high beam switch is bolted to the middle of the steering column.
Item #2 in this pic. shows the switch.
The switch is operated by a metal rod. Item #2 show in this pic.
If you operate the high beam switch, you should see the rod move. If you don't, the end of the rod at the steering wheel end may have popped off.
