Default Driver's Low Beam Not Working, Help!

Alright I have this problem that I can't figure out. My driver's side low beam doesn't work, but the passenger's side low beam works fine. Both high beams and both fogs work fine also. I checked the fuse underneith of the dash and it was fine also. I swapped the bulbs and the bulbs also work. Why isn't my driver's side low beam not firing?

Thanks.

check the power distribution block. So check for power its self in the ground and then search for an electrical diagram and make sure those are not messed up either.

use a meter to check for voltage. use the power and ground wire from the connector that plugs into the light. if you've swapped bulbs and the problem remained than you should have little to no voltage at this connector. then use the power from the connector but find ground somewhere else. if you have 12-14 volts or so this indicates a bad ground in the light harness. Run a new ground. If you still don't have good voltage, use the ground from the harness but use the + terminal of the battery and check voltage. 12-14 volts this way would indicate the light is not getting power. run a new power wire to the fuse box. the black wires are ground on the light connector. in case you didn't notice... there are seperate fuses for each headlight. did you check the right one? also i would use a meter to check the fuses, sometimes they look OK but aren't.

I figured it out, it was a bad ground. Fixed her up and now she works!
