Problem with headlights

Hello, I have a problem with headlights of my ML 400 CDI 2001 year.The combination switch is changed with brand new one. When I turn on the low beam headlights both low and high beam lights turned on. I tried to change AAM module with two other AAM units, but the result is the same. I changed the unit with fuses and relays, where the AAM module is connected , also without results. I tried to move left and right the AMM module and in some position the high beams turned off .

If anyone has had the same problem I would be very grateful if you could help me !

Thank you in advance !

When you are having this problem, is the High Beam icon lit on the Instrument Cluster?

My guess is that there is a problem with the Combination Switch.

Try this, press the switch to make a left turn, then slightly press the switch downward. Do the high beams flicker or turn off?

Did you replace the switch because of this problem?

Where did you buy it from and what was the part # ?
