7	Connect a test lamp between the headlamp low beam relay switch side supply voltage circuit and a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 8	Go to Step 22
8	Turn OFF the ignition. Connect a test lamp between the headlamp low beam relay control circuit and the headlamp low beam relay control side supply voltage circuit. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. With a scan tool command the High/Low Beam relay ON and OFF. Did the test lamp turn ON and OFF with each command?	Go to Step 9	Go to Step 13
9	Turn OFF the ignition. Connect a 40-amp fused jumper between the headlamp low beam relay switch side supply voltage circuit and the headlamp low beam supply voltage circuit. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Did both of the low beam headlamps illuminate?	Go to Step 18	Go to Step 10
10	Disconnect the inoperative low beam headlamp bulb. Connect a test lamp between the low beam headlamp supply voltage circuit of the inoperable low beam headlamp bulb and the ground circuit of the inoperable low beam headlamp bulb. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 20	Go to Step 11
11	Test the headlamp low beam supply voltage circuit for a high resistance or open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 27	Go to Step 21
12	Test the control side supply voltage circuit of the headlamp low beam relay for a high resistance or open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 27	Go to Step 16
13	Test the headlamp low beam relay control circuit for a short to voltage or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 27	Go to Step 16
14	Test the ground circuit of the multifunction, turn signal switch for a high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 27	Go to Step 15
15	Test the headlamp switch headlamps on signal circuit for a high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 27	Go to Step 16
16	Test the twilight sentinel delay signal circuit of the DIM for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 27	Go to Step 19
17	Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the multifunction, turn signal switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 27	Go to Step 23
18	Inspect for poor connections at the headlamp low beam relay. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 27	Go to Step 24
19	Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the DIM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 27	Go to Step 25
20	Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the inoperative headlamp bulb. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 27	Go to Step 26
21	Repair the open or high resistance in the headlamp ground circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you complete the repair?	Go to Step 27	-
