Headlight issue - 2001 Mustang

I drawed a pretty crayon picture. I made a mistake above; they ARE powered off the same fuse. But seperate circuits past the input to the headlamp switch.

Thanks for the diagrams - should be very helpful. Gonna work on it this weekend, will update if I figure it out. Appreciate all the insight!

I just noticed that you're in Nashville. Heh. Me too.

I'd offer to come look at it, but I don't know if I could do much more since it seems like it's probably the 'magic box,' and those are hard to test. I'm not quite sure where it's located, but it should be somewhere under the dash. I'd give it a few smacks and see if the lights flicker.

Come to think of it...if you don't give a crap about the DRL's, it looks like you can just unplug the module- it won't break any circuits. Pulling the fuse would be easier, but you need to be sure that it doesn't power anything else.

Worst case, you unplug the box and the problem persists. At least you eliminated it as the culprit.

I am having this exact same issue! Was your issue ever resolved and what did you do??
