Default quick headlight question

Drivers side low beam light does not work when the lights are on high beam. Both low beam lights come on when the headlights are in the normal on position (low beam.) I switch to high beam and 3 of the four head lights are on. I changed the lamp thinkng it was just a bad lamp but that did not fix the problem. What else could it be besides the wiring harness?

Two bad bulbs, or a bad ground.

The green wire connector at the drivers low beam is not making contact or the wire is broken before it gets to the connector.If you have a test light or meter probe the green on the low beam while its on high and see if it has voltage.You prbably need to clean the connector or make it fit tighter.
