Default No high beams

Ok been reading and I don't see anything on my exact issues, I hope I just didn't oversee it.
so, here's my issues. I lost both high beams. My truck is a 07 ram, I originally lost a passinger side low beam, like I seen one line a easy hack , I jump it across from the driver side. Then a few days later I loose the driver side high beam. I read up more and seen about headlight drivers built into the tipm. So, I pulled it apart and looked for any bad spots on the boards.. everything seemed to appear good. So I put it back together and jumped another wire from passinger side to driver's side. And again they all worked, yeah I thought. Must be a bad tipm. Then a few days later I go to flip to high beams and nothing. So unhook the jumper wires and still no high beams, but now both lows are working. I tested my multifunction switch and it seems to be ok. When I do flip the lever the blue indicator lights up on dash, but no highs. I read about a forward controller ,but when I look it up I can't find any for a 07. So.... I'm lost, where do I go from here. Do I try to find a tipm??

Sounds like one or more of the computers on your truck is going bad. It might be the TIPM, but I am not 100% sure since I can't confirm it.

Bad idea to just start jumping things, CAN bus vehicles are sensitive that way....

Yea I see that.lol. I had a feeling not to but, I was watching YouTube.
I guess my question is there anything other then the tipm and the computer that wo control the lights. Like I said I seen a forward control module listed, but only for the newer ones and older ones. I didn't st anything for my year?
