Highbeams will not come on
Check the ground connection behind the headlights on the frame rail. If you have a Digital Multi Meter, you can check if the highbeams are getting power by unplugging the connector behind the headlight and seeing if the highbeam wire is getting 12V when the switch is set to highbeams. If it is, then the ground is likely the problem. If it's not, then the problem is upstream towards the headlight stalk switch.
