The low beam suddenly went out. The high beams work fine. I checked the bulbs and fuses. They are ok. Could the problem be the relay? I have not checked the switch. I do not know how to get into it.

If both low beam bulbs and fuses have been checked and found to be in working order, the next possible culprit could indeed be the relay.

I have the same issue, but mine it the passenger side, up on replacing the bulb after receiving the car , I noticed someone packed a bunch of grease in it, So not I am assuming that the connector can possible be bad, itself, so if u could send me some of the diagrams or videos to help change the connector. I would appreciate it.

It could be a bad fuse, relay or the bad body ECU. here is a guide to help you test for power so you can see where it loses it at, and the headlight wiring diagrams in the images below.

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
