Default Head Light Wiring no power to one light

98 Ford Ranger. I am only getting "low beam power" to the right headlight. Both lights are getting high beam power for passing and when switched on. I have replaced the the light switch and multifunction switch wiggled all the wiring. Where does the low beam wire split to become left and right?

Have you checked the fuse ? I think fuse 4 and 8 are the fuses on inside cab fuse box for the two headlights.

It was fuse 4. I overlooked that because I thought it would fuse the high beams as well but apparently not...
Well at least I have the new multi switch that I kept putting off the replacement of.

My Haynes book shows 4 for left, 8 for the right and I think its 33 for the high beams.

I thought I checked 4 & 8 but I looked on line for the numbers because I don't have a manual. When I got to the truck I actually was checking 5 & 8... I looked at the diagram again, there was no fuse in 4 at all. Apparently I used it about three weeks ago when I blew the fuse for windows and dome light and didn't realize it was for something important so I didn't replace it... ooops! lol
