1978 Mark Auto Lamp Issues

Hello Bill, and thank you for all your help in maintaining my vehicle.
I have an issue with the high beams on my 1978 Mark V Diamond Jubilee. The only time that they go on is when the lights are turned on with the high beams on.
If I put the headlights on with the low beams on, the high beams can not be activated by hitting the floor switch.
Also, if the high beams are on when I pull the headlight switch and I hit the dimmer switch on the floor to change to low beam, they can not be switched back to high beams.
The car has auto-dim and delay, and this also does not work with the high beams. I was told that there was a relay somewhere on the steering column that may be bad?
Thank you in advance.
Tony
