only driver side headlight works
only goes up on high beam signal, but stays up once switched to low beam
when i take out ret relay number 1 on driver side (3,1,2) headlight go up and down when they are supposed to but no headlights at all.

I’ve checked all fuses and relays, also checked timer control unit.

When I tested with volt meter low beam signal grounds out on passenger headlight. I have also checked wiring harness and can’t see any busted wires.

FYI I have another s13 in garage right now for compression and testing.

Has anyone had anything like this?
