My passenger side headlight and driver side fog light is out. Bulbs are ok, I resoldered the relays in the LKM, I checked the fuses, and it STILL won't work.

by the way, the passenger side parking light doesnt work, but the turn signal does. It's the same bulb. Fuses are ok.

Parking light is controlled by the musrad relay, not the LKM.

1. Do you have power at the headlights?

2. Do you have power at the fuses even if the fuses seem to be o.k.?

Get the multimeter and measure it.
If there is no power at the fuses, then the LKM is still defective, because the relais inside the LKM have to close to get power to the fuses.

I have power at the headlights, but for some reason the terminal for the fuse has power, but when i put the fuse in, it has no power on the little points on the top of the fuse (not sure what they're called)

I ordered a refurbed LKM, should be in by friday. until then I have ghetto-rigged it with a jumper wire just till I get it figured out. I can't go with just one headlight. (flame suit on)

new used LKM, fixed the headlights! parking light still out, so is the fog light, but that is probably just a bulb, or maybe a wiring problem. either way, I can see to drive...here come the HID's!
