Check fuses in picture. if not that then do a CAN scan for codes as it may be a body module problem. Here is a video that shows how.

You can get a CAN scanner for $40.00 on Amazon

Hello,

There are several fuses and relays that work the system. Here are some guides and diagrams (Below) that will help you get the problem fixed.

First the left side low beam did not work although the high beam is working. I checked the fuses they were fine. Now the tail light on the left side is also not working at all.

Both low beams not working. Left and right headlights are fused separately (under the hood), fuses are good, and high beams work. Bulb APPEARS to be a single unit for both beams. Could this be a faulty switch, and if so, do I need a pro to replace it? Also, fog lights work but go out with high beams on. Is this normal?

I bought one headlight and replaced it on the left side - it worked. I tried it right side - it worked. Although the light APPEARS to be a single unit it actually has separate elements for low and high beams. Turns out both headlights failed at the same time! Replaced both - works fine, $36.00 fix.
