View Full Version : Half my running lights don't work

When I turn the lights on the left side running lights come on but the right side is completely dead.
All the lights work. I tried swapping housings to check bulbs and all the bulbs work but the lights do not come on only on the right side. Also the right high beam is shaky.

Only thing i can think of is a ground that all these lights are all on that could be loose? Not sure where this ground is if there is one. I am unsure of any other causes/solutions.

First thing I did was check fuses and they are all good

Are your parking lights working on that side? If so then the light switch is probably good. If not, check the light switch. Look at the LKM next.

Every thing on the right side is out unless I use them as a brake light or blinker and the right low beam does not work.

I plan on taking the lkm out and looking at it. Last time I looked no solder points were bad I'll look again closely.

Possible LKM but the input to the LKM for the left and right is the light switch. Each side is independent but to test you could jump the two output wires from the light switch and see if they now come on. That would show the problem to be with the light switch and not the LKM.

BTW, I've had those two wires at the light switch jumped for a number of years ever since I installed my alarm.

Double check fuse 5. This usually blows because the back of the sunroof switch comes off and grounding the lighting circuit pin in that switch pops the fuse.
