high beam ligths issue w212 2012 e350 cdi estate

Hi

I have a strange issue with my high beam lights.

when the ignition is turned on and not starting the car, my high beam works turning on an off as they should.

when i start the car the high beam lights works turning on and off for like 30 seconds, then they stop to work turning on and off, but the blue light in the instrument panel still working and turns from black to blue.

if i leave the high beam lights on from start they work unlimited time until i shut them off and then i cant turn them on again.

Has anyone a clue what might be the issue?

Check your power source at the switch, if you have a multi meter check your switch. Also it could be enough corrosion at the connection to act up. I've used Stabilant 22A(Amazon) to clean the connection pins with good success. You need very little, a small drop then let sit for about 20mins and reconnect.
