Electrical Gremlins - Right low beam, parking lamp, fog lamp
I am at my wits end with my lighting issue. The dealer diagnosed my non-functioning passenger head light as bad wiring as the coating had deteriorated. My research showed this was not uncommon so I bought a dpair of Depo lights and took an afternoon to remove the bumper and install the new lights on both sides. I tested before I reassembled and the right low beam still did not work. Since I had installed new bulbs at the same time, I knew it wasn't the bulb. High beams work on both sides just fine. I pulled the lights and plugged the passenger light into the connector for the driver side and it came on just fine.
I now know for a fact that the head lamp and bulbs all work. I didn't have my multi meter to test the connector for the passenger side.
Here are current issues:
-Passenger low beam will not turn on
-passenger front blinker in the headlight assembly will not turn on
-both parking lamps and fog lamps work intermittently.
I have searched but cannot find any threads on this. Either the connector is bad or the wiring from the relays are bad, maybe the relays are bad? I am not really good with this stuff. I can follow directions which is why I had no problem pulling the bumper and changing the headlights.
any ideas?
Thanks a ton.

So if it is the front SAM, are those fuses replaceable? If I have to replace the front SAM, any ideas what that win run me? I am already dropping the car off at my Indy next week to replace rear main seal and joints in the front suspension. I think I am already close to $2k in maintenance, I hope the SAM doesn't hurt too bad, lol.
