headlight question

My low beams dont turn on but when I turn the brights on all four lights come on? I have already checked the wires from the switch to the bulbs and nothing is grounding out, exposed or touching where they shouldnt. Maybe a bad headlight dimmer (floor) switch? or does that sound like the actual headlight switch?

Have you pulled the plastic connector that goes to the headlight and wires apart to clean them? What setup are you talking about single or dual headlight's? I have the dual headlights and was constantly blowing the low beam. The high beam would still work and every new headlight I put in did the same thing. So I ended up cleaning the contact points by taking the wires out of the plastic connector to clean them better. It fixed my problem right way.

Might want to try that if nothing else works.
