Check fuses 11 and 12 in the diagram for voltage, use a testlamp. Headlamps on low beam, those are low beam fuses. If no voltage, you will have to check voltage to and from dimmer/combination switch and so on. Keep backtracking till you find voltage. If there is easier way to track this problem, I don't know how.
