Unhappy Headlight & Climate control lighting!

Ok.. this is really weird... soo all the bulbs of my headlights have been changed twice so i know it has nothing to do with the bulbs. The climate control buld has also being changed as well but doesn't light up at night.

Here is the problem
The passenger side low beam doesn't work, and also the Climate control light does not illuminate at night.

Help please

I believe there is a fuse for the low beam. Check fuse panel at the left end of the dash (door open to access).

I checked all that... but ill check it again I may have missed something.
someone told me relay switch may be bad or the connection from the lamp switch may have a short connection.

Those are also possibilities. I always like to start with the easy (cheap) stuff.

FYI - Just a tip - when checking fuses use a DMM or a continuity tester. Visual inspection can fool you.

Good luck.

OK took it to the local shop guy, (dont worry lol he only works on german cars) "so i know he he knows what he is saying" lol.....
He says there is a ground shortage when it comes to the electrical component, something about the right side of the car has a short which is preventing the current to get from the head light switch to the right side passenger headlight and the climate control. w/e he says... any way he said it should be done tomorrow, soo hopefully he is right.. I heard that the electrical problems can spread like cancer so make sure you all take care of them!!
