T/A headlight problem driving me crazy (not grinding problem)
Hey Everyone, So recently my headlights starting acting up. If i turn them on to low beam both the pass side lights come on super dim and driver side both come on also but with normal brightness. When i flip it on brights the passenger side goes completely off and driver side works fine. i cant help to think this is a ground issue, but i have checked the grounds on the radiator support and they are fine. What could be the problem! Also the fuses looked fine under the hood

Might sound dumb but try disconnecting/reconnecting both sides headlights, I was having the same problem and everything checked out, wiggled the connections around a little bit and haven't had a problem since.

I have that same problem too so I searched and searched for a solution and found the driver side main plug a little green. I cleaned it all up and now I have absolutly nothing on the drivers side. I got the light to come on once and I thought all was good but I noticed that it didnt pop up. so Now i'm trying to figure out why it wont pop up. In that process I lost the driver side light all together. no low beam, no high, no motor. I am thinking the headlight module took a crap but Idk. I dont want to spend a ton of money on a new module just to find out it wasnt it.
I'm stumped!

The 5 pin weather pack connectors for the lights and headlight motor are notoriously crap. I just replaced the connectors all together with new ones.
Also for the other guy, if by chance your headlight module is bad, you can get a good used one from Hawks third gen parts for $50. The are a sponsor I think. They have a web site and an ebay store too.
