Hye guys, My dump pipe from my external wastegate, fell off, and since i didnt know, it burnts the chassis wiring that goes from the left to the right of the frm of the vehicle.

I cut the burnt section off, and redid everything , Now everthing is back to normal, exept my passenger side low beam , which wasnt even on the side everything got burnt isnt working, the bulb is good, and the highbeam does work on that side.

I have been looking at the service manual, but there are no color chart for the wires , so i dont even know which ones to even check.

It does seem however the high beam and low beam use the same power, but are separeatedly grounded, so if my high beam works i guess i have power, but what color is the low beam ground, not the one in the light housing but the one on the chassiss harness , as they are diefinately different colors.
 
k thanks, but in the front chassis harness where the low beam ground wire is, theres like 3 other black wires with exactly the same marking and size, since they were beunrt i has to cut them and puting them back toghether, i figured every wire had diffreent markings, but the small ground wires are all the same, theres like 4 of them and i cant get the low beam to work no matter which order i hook them up, But if i hook the low beam to chassis ground, it works just fine.

I assume the other wires are for the fog lights, would it be ok to just take them all to a chasiss ground?
