I have the car listed above that previously was damaged where the right headlight is. The headlight was replaced but now when I set the automatic headlight control to parking light the corner light on the right-side headlight and the tail lights on the right side do not automatically come in. I use the right turn signal it comes on. I push the brakes and the tail lights come on just fine. I lock the car with my key fob and all the lights flash just fine. I have taken it to get checked they could not fix it, they told us someone seemed to have already tried but also failed.

Hello,

It sounds like when they put the car back together they missed a ground wire. Here is a diagram (below) and guide that shows the wiring so you can test the ground.

They even tell you where the grounds are located.

Please let us know what happens, we are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
