I would start at the actual stalk, making sure you get a change in state when switching from dip to main, ford have used some odd ways of doing things at times, sometimes it is conventional sometimes not.
The switch to main beam could be a earth instead of a live, all you are looking for is a change, the dip wire will go dead, the main wire will go either live or earth, I seem to remember that the last one I worked on had me baffled for a while as it was earth switching on the lights to put them on, all depends how the relay is done.
