I have auto headlights and fog lights built into my headlight switch only the parking lights work while the switch is in auto location.

Check fuse # 29, auto headlamp relay, if okay-test the main light switch.

Is it possible that the malfunction switch is causing my passenger headlight to be dim?

You need to find that ground, it is very important that you do. I believe it goes through the dimmer switch.
