Suddenly no left headlight, both high and low, bulb good, ground to light fixture good. no current to left light wires. When turning lights on and off I can hear a click in the engine compartment which I suspect is a relay switch. (right headlight works perfect and all other lights are OK)

both lights are wired to gether so if right works check red/blk wire to left headlight to see if it is broken/chafed etc. also check ground in front of lh fender apron. if battery is near that ground check to see if ground wire has been corroded away from battery acid.
