Default high beam lever

When pushing it forward, it turns on the high beams.
When pulling it back to flick them, no go.
Any ideas??
Help
And thanks

I don't think that we have a flick feature! Why, I don't know but unless someone else tells me they have it, I'm going to assume that we don't.

My 04 has it. I call them the "Thank You/Eff You" lights. Technically I think they are called "Visual Horn".

Technically speaking according to the Owners Manual it is called the Passing Light.

OK, must have been one of my other cars that calls it that in the owners manual. What I don't like about it is this, when I pull it back to give someone a flash of high beams, and let go, it will flick forward to the high beams position, and I am blinding others. It took me a while to realize what it was doing.

Thanks I have had many since the 80s. Also, anything is better then the Fords with the actual horn on the turn signal lever. Mustangs, and Fairmonts maybe?
