Recently had a new bulb installed to my front passenger headlight and worked great for 2 weeks. However, now my lights on the passenger side don't work. I've check the bulb and it is in working condition. The lights on passenger headlight will light up upon starting up but immediately turn off leading me to believe it is an electrical issue. I've looked online for which fuse to check for headlights but I am unsure and could use any advice on which component to replace.

Hi,

If the light comes on then it could be a wiring issue however, it is unlikely because the wiring normally either carries a load or not. As for a fuse, it is either blown or not. There is fuse issue that works for a minute. However, the Front Area Module (FAM) would make more sensor for this.

I included a wiring diagram to show which wires need to be tested. I highlighted them in yellow so when the lamp is off, we need to see if there is power coming out on these wires. If not, just make sure you have power coming into the FAM on Pin 23 and 24. If you have it coming in but not out then the FAM is the issue. If not, let me know and we can go from there. Thanks
