Default No Hight Beam, Only Low Beam...

Ok so I searched a bit around the forum but couldn't find anything related to my problem.

When I start my car, the daylight are on. If I turn the light stick to the middle position, my interior lights turn on (day light) stays on. When I set it to the Low beam (night light) everything turns off. BOth daylight/low beam/interior light

Also, the High beam only works if I hold the stick towards myself, if I push it to have them permanent, nothing happens.

I'm guessing it's an electrical problem, but where should I start looking ?

Thanks everyone, I'm hoping to get some positive help out here

Yeah, my brights will only stay on when you hold the stick back too. And if I have the fog lights on and the headlights, and flip on the high beams, the fog lights turn off, but I have no high beams. I'm guessing its something with the multi switch, but I'm a little intimidated about it, plus the switch assembly is $$

So basically you are saying that the "switch assembly" should be the main cause ?

Can anyone else can confirm this ?
