Angry need help with headlights

so my lights started doing the common problem of flickering randomly. i checked all my grounds, cleaned the contacts and replaced my dimmer switch and headlight switch twice also got new headlights. checked the altenator and the battery they are fine. so now after all that my headlights wont even turn on. so i ran through all the wires with a tester. my relays are fine and fuse as well. come to find out im not getting power to the three fuses under the steering column that deal with the lights. clearly a short but cant find it. any advice? anything helps thanks

well,i would ck the large connector just in front of the air box,it connects the lights to the engine harnes,it allows u to pull the front header without removing all the lights,it might need cleaned,add di--electric grease after cleaning,it caused my lights to flicker,hope it solves your problem,if not id say you have a short,that case just change that front headlight harness,good luck
