Low Beams Don't work but high beams do

I assume this is due to the stalk switch being bad but the symptoms were not exactly what I found for the fixes in my "search" of the technical forum. I read about the contacts being the problem.

Symptoms:
low beams do not come on but fog lights do
high beams work

turn signals are erratic

Car: 79 Euro 930

Thanks
I am sure this is a repeat, but those with wisdom, please redirect.

Low and high are on separate fuses. Start there.

Fuse and include an inspection for corrosion in the fuse holder if the fuse is good.

Happened to me last week and it was the fuse... Didn't blow, just needed to be reinserted as it was sitting a little wonky.

Check the fuse. But it could also be the switch like it was for me. For some reason my lows worked but my Highs didn't.

If it is just the fuse, you should install the headlight relays.
