Default 97 GSXR Headlight power Problem~

Hey all, Lights went out last week. Finally got to tinkerin today. heres the break down. I hate electrical work, but none the less i do have the manual.
No power to bulbs~ Ground works in bulb connector
No power to HighBeam/Low beam Fuses in fuse box
-Ground comes up on same side power should be?
-Fuses are fine
Power to other 3 fuses in fuse box for Ign,Signals, and tail light. (they all work too)
Wiring looks okay, no fraying (sp), or pulled wires.
Bulbs look fine too. However, regardless if the bulbs go, the fuse's for the bulbs doesnt use the bubls for a ground anyway correct?
And their should be power to the fuse box for those fuses regardless? Looks like the fairings coming off and hide and seek starts~
Any help would be greatly appreciated~ Chase

P.S. Could the switch itself block power to the fuse? My highbean indicator also doesnt come on when the switch is set to highbeam? Did i mention i hate electrical work....

The schematic should show you where in the circuit the handlebar switch falls, and if it controls the whole load or only a relay. Let us know.
