08 edge headlights quit working

My headlights quit working on my 08 edge limited. The bulbs and fuses are fine. I've checked and I have power at the harnesses. High beams, turn signals, parking lights, fog lights all work, just no low beams. I replaced the headlight switch to no avail. What else am I missing?

If you see 12 volts at fuse 7 & 8 (10 amps) in the SJB/smart junction box the only thing that makes any sense is that 1 bulb burned out & you did'nt notice until the 2nd bulb burned out. I've been there & done that myself.

actually, no. i jimmy rigged the low beams to the high beams, and the bulbs are just fine. i found that my grounds are gone. i haven't had the time to do it yet, but i'm going to ground them direct to the battery.

Someone must have done some creative wiring on these circuits??? The diagram shows the ground wire from left high beam & left low beam are spliced together & are grounded at G 104

Same on the right side and the common ground is G 107.

I hope you don't find any more surprises like this
