Default Left headlight sometime doesn't work

I checked the connection about four times and also checked with the Ohm meter. Everything check out :confused: . The light works again each time I reconnected but won't work in about two-three weeks and I have to unplug and reconnect it again in order for it to work :confused: .

What is wrong with the electrical system? Do I need to replaced the wires?

It could be a problem in the socket or wiring.

I had an intermittent turn signal issue and finally traced the problem to some taped wires which revealed that a splice had only been twisted, not soldered together!

Thanks 65Z01,

I'll trace it down a little more this weekend since I can't drive to BG for the Cruise in. If it the socket, which I checked it with the Ohm meter and no resistance, do you think Autozone/pepboy have those replacement ot Jeff Kopp/ Chris have it?
