Yes, first post, yes been trying to search for it everywhere.

So I picked up my car a few months ago, and noticed that my bricks were acting strange. Been driving on all lights on at night while I have been chasing the issue. As the inners are supposed to be fogs, and outers are the hi/lows.

When I switch my lights to daytime run, or hit my fog switch, the turn signals turn on.
When turn on low beam, those stay on, but the right side low turns on, and not my left side. But when I flip it to highs, all lights in the bricks turn on.

I have already tried: flipping fuses for hi/lows, flipping bulbs around, checking all connections. All those things still result in the same thing happening as posted above.

My last thought is going to be cleaning the contact of the light switch, and if that fails, I have no idea where to go from there but the harness its self which I would not think it would fail. Unless the wiring was all jambled up. It is a base model that came with bricks as standard.

Are the harnesses in the wheel wells rubbed through? That will cause all kinds of electrical problems.

Ima guess that who ever did your wiring had a nice little hack job somewhere. Your job will be to undo all that electrical tape they probably used, grab a test light and redo the wiring for each of the respected lights. Not a big deal

Didn't think to check the wheel wells. I guess I will try that and clean the light switch. Am really hoping I can just buy a connector if it is a wiring job issue. And not have to replace entire lengths.
