1998 Suburban headlight problem

My 1998 Suburban headlights do not work properly, Here is what I do know,

When I have My headlight switch in the on position (headlights are not working) while slowly moving the steering wheel up & down towards the top of travel sometimes it will hit a sweet spot and make a connection and work and sometimes not. I don't like driving with the wheel in the upright position, Seems that a wire is pinched or may be broken from tilting the wheel over the years..

I had the same type of problem about Ten years ago but it wasn't with the headlights but the airbag light illuminating on the dash and to fix the problem a friend and I removed the airbag but I don't remember if we changed a short wire harness that was getting pinched or if we changed the clock spring. I hate to buy a new clock spring if that isn't the problem.

Anyone know if it may be the clock spring or if there is a short wire harness in the steering column? I'm not 100% sure if there is a short harness or not.

Also, My daytime running lights do work ok and when the headlight switch is in the one position but the headlights are not on the high beams do work ok..

Thanks..
