High beams act as low beams all the time, unless you pull the brights towards you and hold which is also a fatality.

What 1994 Ford Explorer owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Light control switch heats up so hot that wires and plug in melt,burn and crack causing light switch failure that could go unknown causing a crash or fire.
Brake switch light has been replaced four times already, but problem still occurs. Contacted dealer, and the dealer wa snot willing to do anything.
I have replaced the brake light switch twice. The current switch is malfunctioning. The original swutch was replaced about 18 months ago. The brake lights did not come on when the pedal was depressed. The second incident about 8 months ago the lights did not go off when the pedal was released. Currently the lights are staying on after the pedal is released. All three incidents the brakes performed normally. There is a side effect that occurs, the broadcast radio will cut off intermittantly. This is the way I have learned of the switch malfunction. Note, both replacement switches were purchased at a reputable auto parts store and were manufactured for this vehicle. Both switces were installed by a trained sevice technician.
Engine lights has come on several times, engine runs rough in gear at idle, dealer could not duplicate the problem, also serpentine belt was replaced, as well as the egr pressure sensor which was sticking, also thermostat was replaced.
Fails about every 3 years. Switch fails and then no brakelights. Io have seen other explorers near the same year without brake lights on the road.
Calipers stick and grind up rotors,speed control will not release, brake light switch goes bad, accelerator peddal sticks.
Consumer complains that signal lights do not stay on during turns/lane changes.
Got in vehicle at night, pulled light switch; started driving; headlights went out for no reason; played with it awhile & every day to turn on light. High beams work; holds switch to keep high beams on; will be taken to dealer.
Abs light came on.
