Recently, I noticed that I have some kind of problem with the lights of my car. When I turn on the headlights as follows gauges, low beams or in automatic mode, everything works normally. But from the lever that controls the wipers and high beams there is a problem with them (the wipers work in every one position). When I move the lever forward or backward the high beams do not come on. However if I push the lever in and at the same time move it forward or backward they come on and if I leave it like that the headlights only work on high beam (low beam does not work). To I turn on the low beams, analogously I do the same with the lever (but the high beams don't work). I have some doubts, but I still want an opinion. Thanks in advance.

9 times out of 10 it will be the multifunction switch but there are several fuses that run the system so I would check those first here is a guide to help and the headlight wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and which fuses to check:

Yesterday I installed the new switch that controls the wipers, the fluid for them, the indicators, the high beams and the problem with them was fixed!
Thanks
