Did you check for power and ground at the bulb? You didn't say you tried a bulb?

I agree.

 

i have no power on the low beam side .the grd&and pwr for high beam are good

 

You did try a new bulb, right?

 

i have not changed the bulb yet . per your advice i checked for power at the bulb plug no juice. both low beams don't work so the chance's of both bulb's bad combined with no juice at the plug points me back to the switch,relays or fuses. i have pulled all the relays and tested ok.but in the car none work except the bright light relay.

 

double check the fuses even tho you checked them once, if they are OK, sounds like a bad dimmer swx or bad wireing. Sometime a fuse LOOKS good but is at the same time bad.

 

I had a problem like this with my 89 VW GTI 16v...it seems that the plug underneath the steering column had slowly worked itself loose and I would lose my lights sometimes. If all your fuses/wiring/relays are good, it could be the little plug underneath the column. In order to check, you'll need a phillips-head screwdriver to remove the piece underneath...there should be two screws that are set pretty deep inside the plastic...once you get those off, the cover should fall off and you'll see a million wires...the wires for the lights are tucked up in there pretty good and you'll need to feel up underneath for the loose plug...if you have a flashlight, you can probably see if anything has worked itself loose.

You can also implement a temporary solution by hard-wiring the lights up to a switch so you can use your low beams when you flip the switch on. You'll just need a few feet of wire and a cheap switch that you can mount on the dash. I did this for a radiator fan to keep the car cooler on hot summer days.

 

What does your wiring diagram have to say?

 

Ckeck your dimmer switch.
