Welcome to the forum

I've had the same issue with my high beam control. Never found a solution to it though. I replaced the low beams with HID lights which are much brighter than my high beams so I actually never use the high beams anymore.

I'm sure someone around here has had a similar issue and should be able to help you out.

It is a bad multi-function switch. Mines on it's way out also, have to pull it a few times for it to work sometimes.

You can get a new one on ebay, or else I may grab one at the yard here soon.

Dont know about on a monte but my luminas multi function switch was $300+. It is more expensive if you have the tilt column with cruise control for that year. Standard column no cruse multi funtion switch was $50. Since cruse is not wired into ours its in the steering wheel I think it should be pretty cheap.
