When my lights are set to low-beam, all 4 headlights come on. Both left side lights are very dim, and the right side right headlight is bright. The left-front parking light is out when in low-beam, but both fog lights work properly.
When my lights are set to high-beam, only the right side headlights come on. Both fog lights go out, but both parking lights are now working.
I have changed my left-side headlamp actuator motor twice due to the gears stripping out. I have double-checked the wiring harness for the actuator and it can only go on one way, since it is idiot-proof. The inside of the harness looks in good shape, and I have tried the old wiring harness just to see if that was the culprit, but it doesn't appear to be the problem. I checked this because I didn't see this problem until a couple of weeks after I replaced the headlamp motor assembly. I also checked the high-beam switch under the steering column. This switch actuates a metal rod that runs down along the steering column to some other switch just above the pedals. I didn't see anything unusual there. What else can it be? Thanks in advance.
