Default 2005 Ram 1500 low beams on driver's side not working.

I have a 2005 Ram 1500 4.7L V8. I've been having problems with my low beam light on the driver's side not working. The high beams on both sides work fine and the low beam on the passenger side works, but on the drivers side it doesn't! I know for sure it's not a problem with the bulbs. Can someone please help me?

You sure its not a bulb issue? Have you taken the bulbs out and swapped sides to see what happens?

Yes I have! I switched them and they worked on the passenger side, but not the driver's. I'm positive it's not a bulb issue. I'm thinking wiring or something but I'm not sure.

Check the fuse block under the hood for corrosion. It usually corrodes on the under side and causes all sorts of electrical problems
