Passenger side headlight/high beam don't work in the rain Have a strange problem.. everytime it rains, my passenger side headlight and high beam stop working. As soon as it dries out, they work again. Im assuming it has something to do with a connection getting wet, but I wasn't able to find it. Any ideas?

Ive played with all the visible connections with no success, but I haven't had a chance to check it with the multi-meter. It has to be a connection that controls both high and low since they are both out.

I had a similar issue a few years ago. It actually turned out to be the ground pin in the harness. It is the large harness down behind your marker light. I think it is a 6 pin harness? Big anyway. My ground was corroded completely in the harness. Bad enough that the rust dust and a partial pin fell out when I took it apart. I just repined the harness but don't remember where I got them.
