My passenger headlight (day time running light) will sometimes refuse to work. Often it's fine, but it'll either randomly stop, or start operating! Not sure if this is a grounding issue or something common in this model. (The driving lights work jsut fine as do high beam)

I've taken a quick peek under the hood and all the wiring coming from the lamp seems to be fine -- bare with me I'm not any form of electrical guru, so if someone could point me in the next best direction to look for a solution I'd be very thankful

over time the wiring can become brittle...it sounds like maybe a wire broke or somethin gin the harness...

Pull the headlight out and trace the wiring a little ways, the past 2 s14's ive bought have had butt connectors connecting the harness for some reason. and another i had the plug had burnt up the neutral and caused it not to work have the time.

Seems to be completely random, rain or shine, cold or hot, driving or idle.

I'll pull the headlight and trace the wire tomorrow.
