Weird Headlight Issue
My battery was dead in my GL450, so I replaced it with a new battery Later that evening I notice my headlight is out, but it doesn't notify me on the dash. I looked at it this morning, and it seems the drivers side has the city light and orange corner light on and passenger side only the headlight works. The fog works on drivers side but not on the passenger side. Any help?

I agree with this. Reading the faults on the front sam will point you in the right direction. You can also use a icarsoft scanner to read the codes. Maybe something is shorted to positive and staying on all the time which is the cause for your dead battery. I had my left front city light/park light lit on at ALL times regardless of key position, turns out there was water in my battery tray at some point and the front sam was heavily corroded. The light was shorted to positive and stayed on all the time. Had to replace the front SAM.. after finding and fixing the water leak from the fresh air vent...

I searched but could not find the relay listing. Do you know where I would be able to find it? Or do you know which relay it is? Thanks in advance.
