    I’m having trouble with my low beam headlight on my 2000 Tundra. The drivers side is not working. All my other lights work. Tried a new bulb and switched bulbs between sides and can’t get the low beams to work on the drivers side. I took a test light and have power on 2 of the 3 terminals on the drivers side and only one on the passenger side. Checked fuses and they are good. Switched relays and nothing changes. Here is the strange part. If I pull the fuse for the passenger side both low beams come on very dim. Put the fuse back in and passenger side comes in like normal and the drivers side is out. Should I be looking for a wiring issue it could it be the switch in the column? Anyone had a similar problem? Thanks for any insight into this issue.

    It sounds like an open in the ground side of the circuit, look for problems with the body ground wires in the headlight area, either on to the rad support or the inner fender.

    Loose, corroded, broken wire...

    Found my problem. The ground wire was broke right at the plug for the headlight. Looked good but inside the insulation it was broke. Thanks for your input
