The only thing I could suggest is buying a Haynes manual or download a wire diagram of you specific model of car and then try and find the source of the problem and get to work with a soldering iron I guess

Am I the only one who struggles to understand how using main beams in heavy rain actually helps your visibility? I would have thought there's so much glare from the rain reflecting light back at you that you will actually see less of what you're approaching. Things might appear brighter but your real range is reduced. That's what dipped beams and front fogs are for - to prevent that glare that just blinds you.
Rain, no matter how heavy. Is refractive. Not reflective. So it won't glare back at you like fog would. The only thing that can affect your visibility is the speed of your windscreen wipers.
