2001 ranger no low beams

All my other lights are working except low beams. I've changed the bulbs, fuses, headlight switch, and multi-function switch. Still nothing. I have power up to the multi-function switch on the blue/orange wire and with the lights on power to red/yellow. I'm out of ideas. Any input would be great.

Do you have power to the red/black wire with light switch on?

Yeah unless I unplug the connector from the multi-function switch then I have nothing.

Have you checked in the power distribution box fuse #24 and in the interior fuse box fuse #33?

Changed both along with #38 and #42 in the distribution box which should be for each low beam.

If you have 12volts at the head light connector then only thing it can be is a bad Ground for rad support, each head light is grounded separately BUT they share the Rad support as the ground

Look at you battery negative cable it should have a smaller ground wire running to inner fender and a jumper from there to the Rad support, check those
Wouldn't expect high beams to work but check anyway

Do you have DRL(day light running lights)?

No DRL's. I checked the wire going from battery to bolt on the front and the jumper wire going into wire harness behind drivers side headlight. But I can't find any other grounds around the headlights.
