Your headlight switch doesn’t control anything but electrical power to the headlight system. If you could get your high beams to come on by pulling back on your turn signal it is most likely it is your multi-function switch that is bad. You have to take the steering wheel off to replace it so I don’t suggest you do it yourself. ---

Sounds like he might be holding the high beams on with the “flash to pass” feature Flash to pass probably bypasses the headlight switch on the dash which might be dead. OP, did you change the dash switch or the multifunction/dimmer switch? ---
