1997 dodge 1500. low beams only work when the tilt steering wheel is full up. They go out when the tilt wheel is in a normal driving position. The high beams work in any position, so I have to drive with the brights on or the steering wheel tilted full up. Sounds like the multifunction switch?
Yes it is the wires in the column I do beleive you can replace it but its not a easy job. Wires go from switch all the way doen the column
SOURCE: No high beams on 1999 Dodge Caravan; low beams work fine
replace the switch in the column i had the same problem on a 1996 caravan when i replaced the switch the problem stopped
SOURCE: Intermittent multifunction switch problem?
most definitely is the problem and yes you can do the job the cover around the steering wheel will have to come off a philips screw driver will be needed before taking out get the new switch first so you can see how it is mounted.please rank this answer thanks.

a possibility is the multifunction switch or the tipm being bad. check the wt/lg wire in the left headlamp assembly and the wt/tan wire in the right assembly for power
SOURCE: No high beams, problem is not multifunction switch
Check the headlight switch to make sure that the connections or internal connections aren't corroded. This was a major problem for older fords, so it would be good to check it anyway.

I'd still vote for the bulb being bad. The high and low beams use two different filaments, so unless the bulb is physically broken, it is common for the low beam to be bad whilst the high beam is good.
That's why you see some people driving around with their high beams on -- they don't want to get stopped for a 'light out' citation..
When you take the bulb out to replace it, be sure to look at how it is mounted before removing. You don't want to accidently adjust your headling out of kilter.
good luck
