Default Headlight Electrical Help (easy)

Ok the issue: when turning on my high beams, the passenger (right) head light HIGH beam does not come on and the headlight goes off completely.

All bulbs are brand new and tested to see if they work.

SO i got a circuit tester and by following this schematic
http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/n...se-box-809040/

I was able to ascertain that Fuses #3 #4 and #5 dealt directly with the headlight and tested them accordingly.

When the low beams were on, all 3 fuses get power and the circuit tester lit up. When I turned ON the highbeams only fuse #3 was recieving power and fuses #4 and #5 were not.

Kinda stumped at where I should go from here...PLEASE HELP

check for a bad connection at the head light socket. Don't think the HL are fused
