I have had this problem with my lights going out, reverse lights, and still my head lights.(My driver side running light stays the same, Driver side bright is at a dim, Pass. and Driver side are are a dim, I guess searching for ground.) They havve power and fuse is good. Relays are good. I have cleaned all grounds I could find for these lights.

My dads chevy tech at his work cant figure it out and he gave me some diagrams. But I cant figure this on out.

Have you heard of this one? Where should I start looking?

When you say you cleaned all the grounds, did you check the grounding block that is under the battery tray?

Do you know of this grounding relay or any grounding relay that will cause my headlights to search for ground?

Thank you.
