Default Multifunction switch

I have a 2000 Monte Carlo LS.

I just replaced the multifunction switch due to no low beams. Immediately after I installed it, everything worked fine. Now my high beams won't stay on, they just flash when I pull the switch.

Any suggestions on what the problem is now?

Bad multifunction switch. TO turn the high beams on, it has to "click" and internally locks them on. Since they go on when you pull the switch, I bet they stay on as long as you hold the switch.... That tells you the circuit works. The only thing in that circuit left to fail is the switch itself.

I'd exchange the part.
