Angry Hi beams stall engine - PUZZLED!

Here's the thing - I suspect a bad switch in the directional lever control at the left side of steering column. Symptom: With high beams on, AND right turn signal on, engine stalls on the spot. Like the key is turned off. Same thing happens when high beam "flash" is used. When fog lights are on, I get a buzzing sound at the lamp switch. Push switch back, buzzing stops. No blown fuses. Turn off the lights, the car starts up & runs fine. My mechanic suspects the buzzing is a power back feed because of problem at the directional switch. Everything else works fine and these symptoms are can be reproduced consistenly. Anyone know about this? How big a job to replace the directional / high beam switch? Thanks in advance!
