Default No fuse block?

So some of you might remember my last thread about my wiring being a living . The other day while driving home from work, my low beams died on me. When I got in the car, I turned them on, they worked fine, and then they both just died. The high beams worked, all my lights worked, just no low beams. I pulled over and looked to replace the fuse under the dash, and they were all fine. So I drove home with my high beams on.
I heard that a common problem is the switch, so I went to the JY and got a new switch. Still no low beams. I went and bought two brand new lights, and still no low beams. I went to check the fuses in the engine bay that I kept hearing of, and I'm not seeing them. I don't know if I have a fuse block there. I only have a space for relays. Anyone have a clue on what to do/why I don't have a fuse block?

It could be a bad dimmer switch.

I already replaced the switch. Any other ideas? The Jeep is decommissioned until I can figure something out.

You used a dimmer switch from the JY? How did you test it?

Well unless I'm the unluckiest person ever and none of them work, I have 2 switches from the JY and I bought one the day of the first post, I don't think it's the switch.

Have you checked the fuse block under the drivers side dash against the firewall,there is fuse there for the dimmer switch,maybe it is the problem.

Cool

Back probe the headlight switch with a test light and see if you have power on the wire that leads to the low beam circuit. If power is there then check at the headlight socket. If no power then just back track till you find power.
Low beam at the socket is "light green" Ground is black
Headlight switch is light green wire also, BTW if you have fog lights you need to check power in and out of the fog light switch.....common problem is the switch goes "open" , this is a transfer switch betwwen fog ond low beams when it goes open you have niether
