I have heard of wire corrosion problems by the battery, even a tiny corrosion problem, but with the fuses I don't know if there is a fuse for the high beams only.

I am not 3rd gen know all but this problem typically is associated with the switch itself inside the steering column.Sometimes the contacts inside get dirty and make bad contact and you may be able to cheap out and just remove the cover and blow out.Or remove assembly and clean,lube contact points and try again.Unless the electrical part is worn out.I assume you have a standard column light switch,like I said not 3rd gen savy but sure this is what you have.Unless this issue is common and others have dealt with they can chime in and add or correct my suggestion.I had the issue with my truck just lost low beams,hi worked and internal electrical piece on switch worn out.
