Thanks for the replies guys!
I wonder if anyone had any luck hooking up a bright / low bypass switch type thing?

I have changed that turn signal stalk on my '94 Grand Am about 4 times over the years I've had that car (since '03). That doesn't count the other mid-90's Grand Ams I've done it on (I can do the job in roughly 15 minutes, maybe 20, and I know just the tools to get for it from my garage). Every time I finally broke down and changed mine, I lost the ability to click my high beams on (I could hold the wand forward to keep the highs on). But since I hardly use high beams, I did not worry until I had a bigger problem (fogs turn on, but not head lights or turn signals fail). First one I bought was $70 from a local parts store, then a warranty swap, a $10 salvage one and lastly, I just installed one I pulled from my friend's '95 when we junked it this year (his was roughly 6 months old).
Due to age and mileage, I am trying to keep the Grand Am on the road safely as reasonably cheap as I can. Next step may be to rig an auxiliary headlight switch else where.
My Monte currently has the can't click the high beams issue. Currently, at the ridiculous price places want for that part RocknSS04 mentioned), I am holding off until I have a bigger issue (or I find a cherry donor in the salvage yards). But it is truly annoying.

I looked up this great thread back in June when my switch went out on the Monte. But rather than spend the money on the switch I have just been driving around without a turn signal for the last 6 months and it hasn't hurt me none.

I am going through the same problem on my 2002 Monte SS Dale Earnhardt Edition. No low beams. Just get high beams and DRLs and rest. Per the tech at the dealership, my module detected 14 warning errors from Airbag to turn signal to locks, etc operating too high or too low. Not to mention my headlights not working. Told me I need the main multi switch thats on the steering column. Parts and labor is $900..CRAP!!!

Multifunction Switch
1a Auto has a start to finish video, that does not indicate a requirement to remove the instrument panel, only the two lower panels underneath the steering wheel. They also sell the part for $73 and change. If I have a problem with the part I will post again.
