Default Brights won't turn off

Brights won't turn off, passing lamps won't turn on. I'm figuring it's the left hand switch, but before I take it apart any possible other reasons that can cause this. I do have the garage door opener hooked up that's how I realized I had a problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

If you got this problem when you installed the garage door opener, you need to recheck all your wiring and connections. Your passing lamps won't turn on until your lights are on dim anyway.

I've had the garage opener for few years. Think it's the switch because it won't turn the brights off. Thanks vickers1 small wires and big hands don't work well together but will try

Update. The brights are off it the low beam that's working no high beam. The side lamps won't turn on and the little light on the switch for passing lamps won't work. If the garage door opener fried out could that do it. Would the high/low bean switch stick on low make the side lamps not work. Electrical not fun
