I'm just guessing, you probably have a bad ground or a short somewhere on the wiring for that headlamp.

Search the forums for those answers, do a search on headlights you should come across soemthing. Also somone i here has a link to the FSM which i would assume has the wiring diag. Your gonna need a multi-meter though.

Also check to make the the light connector isn't just Fowled or corroded.

check the wires that go to the headlight especially the last foot behind the headlight where the wires are flax has a headlight goes up and down. I've had more than one with that problem and it would be the wires are almost broke. Also is it dimmer on both the high and low or just one ?
