My service light came on and I heard some clicking around the left side of the dash. Today I noticed my right headlight isn't working and either are my DRL. Both headlights work on high beam though. I would love to figure out what it might be as my husband and I do any repairs that we are able to. If not the garage it will go.

Hi there. To diagnose the headlight issue, the first thing to do is check the fuses. This car has separate fuses for both headlights. Also check your drl fuse. I'm including the fuse box information in the images for your reference.

For the service engine light, in most areas you can have the local parts store people scan your car for trouble codes for free. Get that done and write down the actual code numbers. Report them here and we'll go from there.
