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.

I'd think if you lost ground, the high beam wouldn't work also. read the voltage with the lead removed from the light, not a bridged reading with it connected. Wiggle the harness while reading voltage and look for a change caused by a weak or open wire inside the harness
The 1.5 volt seems to say a high resistance open in the lead from the fuse. The first place I'd guess is the lead just prior to where the harness bends every time the headlights go up and down, then where the wiring harness exits the cockpit by the brake fluid container. If the fuse is tight and clean, is the wiring clean and secure at the fuse output connection. |
