I am happy to report that the problem is solved. The issue was the left headlight main wiring block. The photos show that both the prong side and contact side were compromised. One of the prongs stayed in the contact and pulled away when the main block was separated. I replaced both and all is now well.
Strange however is that voltmeter reading at the 2 prong headlamp connection showed a DC reading. I suppose that the circuit resistance was high enough that the circuit was not allowing sufficient current to light the bulb. The ground connection might have had high resistance as well.
Thanks to all who posted and to all who read.
According to the wiring diagram, power comes into the Body Control Module through fuses 23, 39, 47, 17 and 16. From there, power should come into the left headlight assembly through the brown and blue wire- into the bulb and then to ground point G105. If I place a multimeter across the 2 bulb connector plug prongs and get/not get a reading- what would the conclusion be?
OK thanks. I now have the improved license and ran the program.
It did not reveal any DTCs anywhere. I have also obtained the wiring diagram for the vehicle from the Ebay vendor.
The search goes on. Developments posted as they occur. Thanks to al.
I ran the FORSCAN program yesterday and got the code B1D00- Left low beam circuit short to battery or open.
Some parts of the program were unavailable due to not having the advanced license- which I'm trying to add presently.
The vehicle must have had halogens since the fuse slots for HID are all empty with no connections for fuses. Thanks for the advice on the resistors...so far, there is nothing in the headlight housing except wiring. I will post a pic of the old LED that I removed.
I have FORSCAN on my laptop and will check for error codes in the Body Control Module. If there are any, I will post.
Many thanks to all who read my posting- special thanks to those who replied.
Many thanks for the reply. There is evidence that the wiring has been changed from OEM- heat shrink tubing.... I don't see anything more inside the headlight assembly but will take a closer look when able.
Hello to the group and good day.
I own a 2013 Edge with 201000 kms. I have owned it for a little over a year.
Recently, I wanted to replace the halogen bulbs since I thought that the drivers side one was burned out due to poor headlight pattern.
When I took out the old drivers side bulb, I discovered that it was LED instead of halogen. I went ahead and replaced it with the halogen bulb anyway on both sides since I did not want to have halogen on one side and LED on the other.
Now- with halogens on both sides, there is nothing on the drivers side- no DRL (daytime running lights) or high or low beams.
I should mention that after I removed the LED on the drivers side, I turned on the lights with the LED bulb lying on the front grill, it lit up but there appeared to be smoke coming from it. I turned the lights off immediately.
Smoke is never a good thing- generally speaking....although- here in Canada-cannabis is legal.
Fuses appear to be OK.
Question- is there a relay which supplies current to the headlights?
Some sources claim that the fuses in the drivers footwell are "relay fuses"...
Any-and all- thoughts appreciated with much thanks in advance.
