My low beams went out, but my high beams still work. My running lights still work so I replaced the switch on the blinker switch and still got nothing. No power at the fuse box and if I take a piece of speaker wire and tap it on the head light wire and the battery they come on.

It sounds like you have a bad ground or a bad low beam control relay, to be sure here is a guide to help and the headlight wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works:

Please check ground #g100, also check the fuses. This guide can help

Here is the relay location as well. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
