I would never wish this problem on anyone, but just in case someone has experienced the same thing..
my '93 sidekick lost high-beams one night accompanied by a smell similar to a burning ballast. A few weeks later, the turn signals started clicking and buzzing; also accompanied by a burning ballast smell. The only way to stop the noise and smell was to unplug the hazard and turn signal fuses. After inspecting the wire harness, I find no burned wires. Also, the turn sig relay smells normal. What-the-heck?

i got a 96. and i lost low beams.... i've diagnosed mine to be the turn signal switch

It does sound like the mutli function lever. What ever you want to call the turn signal head light switch.

i've never known what it was called. thanks...... sound to me its the multi function switch.

Bad multi-function switch. I've had the same problem and replacing the switch fixed it... I got mine from a junkyard...
