So me and my pop have been going at it for a few days trying to figure out this problem. When I first got the car it worked, but after a couple weeks it stop working. I then change the blub and it worked again for like 3 months. Now I'm just trying to figure out this problem. We checked connecter seems like I might be it but wanted a second opinion.

Is the bulb out again? if not lets check for power at the headlight. this guide can help. also I have included the headlight wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. It could be the BCM which I have included the replacement instructions for that as well.

Okay, I would check for power at the fuses # 9, #11, #29 and #28. this guide can help us with the fuse location in the diagrams below:
