Renault Megane main beam issue

Before delving into the unknown too far, we have a Megane where the dipped bean won't switch to the main beam. Yet the main beam still works if you flash the headlights.

First thought is a potentially blown fuse though I am surprised the main beam works when flashing.

Everything on the car is electric, but was wondering if the stalk switch was still a simple mechanical affair rather than using sophisticated black box anywhere.

Is this fault common on these cars?

Sounds like a mechanical problem affecting the contacts in the switch to me. Like the contacts are being closed to flash, but are not being held closed in the main beam position. Mike.

Many thanks. I was wondering that since everything else is fly by wire this might be as well! I need to check but perhaps a new switch is required.
