Default High beam issue

My 96 cherokee sport has lows and when you pull the high beam switch the indicator on the dash lights but the headlights go out. I get continuity between all three prongs on the lamp and between ground and both high and low on the harness. Also, I get voltage across low and ground but not high and ground. Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?
Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to CF from Tj in NJ…. Cherokees are notorious for their headlight switches going bad so I would start with that...Tj

Do you mean the one on the steering column, and is there any way to test it?
Thanks
