Passenger High Beam not working...

Passenger High Beam not working...

My passenger hi beam is not working nor is my high beam indicator light.
Here is what I do know is working.

1. Getting power to 15A fuse under the hood.
2. Getting power to the passenger high beam relay socket
3. Relay OK
4. When I jump the passenger low beam battery side to the passenger high beam side of the relay socket the high beam works.
5. Drivers side hi beam working properly.

From looking at the lighting schematic I notice that hi beam indicator lamp is wired to the passenger hi beam circuit. I called the dealer to ask them for advice and they told me to brin it in to check the smart entrance control unit for $125...HA, yea right. They did tell me that it might be the combination switch. Because the high beam indicator lamp is not working and the switching is on the ground side of the circuit I am thinking that the problem is the high/low beam selector switch. But since it is nearing the end of the weekend I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem before?
Thanks

That's good idea and might have to result to it, but it still does not solve my high beam indicator not working which is tied in with the passenger high beam circuit. I was thinking about doing what you said but I would **** off other drivers because the indicator light would still not work. Thank you.
