Default Headlight problem. Low beam.

Figured I would post this hear and maybe get some help. My driver side headlight motor went out so I switched it out with a new one. After I did that the low beam light does not work. Switched back to the old motor and again doesn't work. It gets power, has a good ground, and bulb is good.

My high beams both work but only the driver side low beam does not work. My fog lights also do not work.

WTF is up with this junk?

I switched out the motors because the gear inside was stripped. After I did this my low beam light does not work. I thought it might have been the connector on the new motor so I tried the old one again and it doesn't work with that one either.

So I buy a new low beam light and that doesn't work. It's getting power, it has a good ground but it doesn't work.

Doubt that will work. I've switched them on and off enough times where if it were to work it would have already.
