A few weeks ago I clicked the turn signal stalk on my 2002 Lincoln LS to switch to high beams. The high beams came on but I couldn't switch back to low beams. The high beam blue indicator stays on on the dash. Had to pull the high beam fuses to force the lights to shut off. Now only have low beams. The other functions on the turn signal stalk still work (wipers and signals) but not the high beam function.
The problem could be a relay or the switch.
Hope this helps.
Faulty switch.

Some time back I found some data on a similar website suggesting that the Day Light Running circuit board, just under the steering column, developed cracks in some of the soldered joints. Your high beams should also be affected with loss of day light running lights.
Resoldering repaired the continuity of the circuits. Ours is now working quite reliably. Some of the defective areas developed slight brownish discoloration, that's how I was told to recognise the areas to be resoldered. Hope this will help you solve your problem.

$35 sounds right for the lever. It definitely sounds like it's your lever acting up as the contact seems to be stuck

just replace the dimmer switch under the column its wore out on the low beam side
Testimonial: "It's great to know that there's not a whole lot more to check! I wouldn't have guessed I was so close. Thanks!"
SOURCE: Both headlights do not function on low beam but
there is a bad connection in the switch or the multifunction switch is bad

Thanks Ricky. I assume you mean the high beam switch inside the turn signal stalk on the steering wheel?
YES
