If I use the control arm and press to dash the driver low beam works and the passenger headlight goes off. If I press the control arm away to me the driver headlight goes out and the passenger headlight works. I did replace the bulbs and fuses. Both headlights will not turn on together and the daytime running light only the passenger side stays on. Can you give me a hint of what to do?

Hello, it sounds like it could be the headlight switch that has gone out. But to be sure here is a wiring diagram and a guide to help you get the problem fixed.

Check for power coming into and out of the switch.

Please run some tests and get back to us so we can continue helping you.

Cheers, Ken
