Yeah, I checked. "One fuse to bind them all." (To paraphrase Tolkien)Are you absolutely sure that there are not separate fuses for high beam and low beam? Ford does have a habit of doing that.
Otherwise I suspect that dawgofwar10 may be on the right track.
That was a common old Ford issue - the circuit breaker in the headlight switch would go bad and play games.FWIW, had two Broncos, '70 and '71 that both had problems with a relay in the headlight system. Use high-beams for about 2 minutes and they'd go away. Switch back to low and everything was fine. High-beams again and problem repeated itself. Never got around to R&R the relays, as the truck never got driven that much at night at speeds where high-beams were necessary.
You might replace the relay(s) and look for corrosion that could cause heat to build up.
HTH.
Ok Griz, this is the scoop on that car. The model I have was made in Europe, they are not being made anymore (at least not there, maybe? ) according to Alphaman.Oddly my other SIL (the one I 'm never alone with) is looking @ one of those to replace her older little ford sedan (2007-8 Vignale? I can get in but it's a choir - nice leather etc for a mini car) . Please post the resolution or if it's worse than you thought .
You could be saving me untold whining and anguish.

I hear you. Our 2009 GMC pickup is running on 7 cylinders... we know it needs a new spark plug and wire. But the job is SUCH a PITA, none of the men folk want to do it. Considering they've rebuilt 2 ATVs, 1 Ford 3000 tractor engine and done several brake jobs on the vehicles this year, it's not they aren't familiar with the work...Sounds kind of like the 1967 Chevy Biscayne I had. You had to remove the right front fender to replace the heater coil.
Engineers: "I have a great idea. Let's put the heater coil on a temporary stand and build the car around it."
You already answered your question! EuropeFrom what I can see, one fuse controls both, so it probably is not a bad fuse.
Car in question: Ford CMax hybrid 2013, made in Europe.
Relay perhaps?
