Hi Chalie,
The low beams power supply passes through alll these components/wires/fuses.
1. Lamp out warning module (located in instrument panel console.) If equipped.
2. Interior Fuse panel, Fuse # 4 (10 A) without Lamp out warning module and Fues # 8 (10 A) if equipped.
3. Multi function switch.
Power Input = Red/Yellow wire.
Power output = Red/Black wire.
4. Headlamp switch.
Power input = Dark blue/Orange
Power output =Red/Yellow
5. Power distribution box Fuse # 4 (20A)
Test for power supply backwards from the headlight socket and move along the list from Item 1.
