No low beams
I have had my 2013 Caprice for 3 years now, with no head light problems. I went to leave work, and the low beams are not working. I changed the relay, and the problem remains. fuses are good. High beams work. Any ideas???

Re: No low beams
Low beams solved. I sliced into ground cicuit 250, the second ground from the top of connector. I ran it to the ground on left fender. Everthing is good now.

Re: No low beams
I read somewhere that the low beam ground is controlled thru the BCM. My issue on my 13 is that I have power to both pins on the low beam bulb plug. What should I look for or do? I don't want to add a ground to the headlight main plug because I'm worried about shorting out the BCM.
Re: No low beams
The BCM controls the ground of the control circuit for the headlight relays, not the grounds at the headlight assemblies. It looks like the high beams and the low beams have separate ground points, G-102 for the low and G-104 for the high.
Re: No low beams
So where do I locate the low beam ground so I can clean it up or replace the terminal? Or should I just tap it at the plug and run a wire to the fender ground ?
Re: No low beams
G-102 ground is on the body rail on the passenger side, buried around the compressor area. If it is a rust belt car, the wire may be corroded off. It is not a real fun spot to get to. May be easier to just add a ground wire up a the wiring on the light connector, like the OP did in this thread.
