Hi, new to the forum. I have a 2006 Altima that one of the headlamps is inop sometimes. I know some cars have lighting control modules that have cracked solder joints on the circuit board. Does this car have an LCM and if yes, where is it? Thanks.

Um, I'm thinking you should know whether you have daytime running lights or not.
Also, DRL's in 2006 were mostly in Canada only, so if you live in the States, I doubt your 2006 Altima has DRL's.
To answer the other question, if it has DRL's, then there will be a DRL module. Conversely, no running lights, no module.
Those modules do have issues as they get older, and will cause intermittent or hard failures in your headlights.
I have a 2002 Pathfinder, and they have those issues (I replaced my DRL module with one from a junkyard).
if you go to that forum and search DRL's, you'll find some good info.
