High beams not coming on when selected or flashed - any ideas?

[ARNIE R]

2014 ST-S.

Today I started the bike and did my "pre-flight" inspection and discovered that the high beam headlights would not come on when hitting the switch to either the high beam or flash settings. The low beams stayed lit in all positions.

Started checking and removing all the fuses and relays and after a few moments of switching them back and forth, the high beam function starting working again, so I attributed it to a loose connection and went upon my ride.

Upon returning home, I rechecked the high beam function and discovered it to be inoperable again. This time, I noticed that when the switch was in the high beam position, the lights would remain on in the low beam setting, however, the lights would flicker during different engine RPMs. They would remain steady as usual when in the low beam setting.

Any ideas or thoughts on what I may be checking on further?
