No Low Beams only High Beams

So when I turn my Low beams on, NONE of the 4 lights go on at all. When I click to High beams ALL 4 of them come on. Not sure why I am not getting my Low beams. Could this be a wiring malfuction? Where should I start looking? Thanks a lot guys.

If you turn your headlight switch on and the lights come on with the headlights on high, switch over to low beam and nothing. I would say its the switch in the column. I think sits called a multifunction switch.

It wouldn't be the multifunction switch in the column, it would be the dimmer switch on the steering column above the ignition switch under the dash. The multifunction switch only acts as the activator by pushing a rod against the dimmer switch. It sounds like there is either a open circuit in the yellow wire to the dimmer switch or the switch is bad.
