Okay, no voltage to the driver side low beam. Checked the fuse, it's okay. Pulled out and swapped the relay, still nothing. What is my next step? I am guessing the headlight switch? What else could it be aside from a cut wire somewhere.

The switch powers the high/low relay, and then the left and right circuits separate from each other. They go through separate fuses (did you check the right fuses?) for each light, then to the light. Then they ground separately as well.
If it's just the left low beam that is out, and you have removed and inspected and cleaned the fuse and it's still out, and only that light is out, the low beam filament is the most likely suspect. Do you have +12V at the low beam connection of the headlight? --DD |

Checked the fuse and it's good. Used a voltage meter at the headlight socket and no power, (maybe a little if I recall...1 or 1.5 volts), but negligible.
