Default No low beams on 01 crv

Okay i got a 2001 crv that the both low beams just stoped working, high beams work fine tho. Does anybody know what might be the problem? I checked all fuses,swaped out the headlamp relays under the hood as well as the bulbs and nothing still. I even metered the headlight wires in a couple spots and I was getting power with the low beam swith on. I'm stumped!!!

When you were checking for power (test light or multimeter ) you were likely using the chassis as ground.

If you were getting 12 volts up to the socket then likely the problem is a faulty ground connection for lamp circuit itself. Meter the ground wire from the lamp socket to check for continuity.

yeah I was, I didn't even take that into consideration. I'll have to look at it again if its not already at the honda shop. My friends wife works two jobs so she needed it fixed asap, but I know how the shop is about gettin things done on the weekend. Thanx for the reply.
