Low beam not working on 2005

Low beam not working on 2005
Having a headlight issue on the driver side low beam not working! Car has had the recall performed and all worked fine until recently. I have checked all fuses and relays and all are good! I have even swapped the module, bulb and bulb to module connector from side to side and the passenger side works fine but I have nothing at the driver side! I have checked the voltage (approximately 12 volts) going into both modules when the lights are switched on but still nothing on low beam driver! High beams both work fine! I suspect a ground issue but do not have a schematic to trace. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you, George

All front left lighting, windshield washer pump and brake fluid level sender are grounded at G101. It is located in engine compartment on top of left front frame rail.
If high beams and other lights work, then unlikely it will be at the frame connection.
The plug to the ballast that operates the low beams has 3 terminals. Might check for ground continuity at the plug going into ballast.
A - not used
B - Ground (center terminal - black wire)
C - Left Headlamp Low Beam Supply Voltage (yellow wire)

I had the low beam go out on the drivers side of my car and it ended up being a bad ballast.

I have an '06 and recently had the driver's side low beam go out. It was also a bad ballast.
Don't go to a dealer for the part, they will really gouge you. My local dealer wanted over $400 for the ballast and $229 for a low beam bulb. I purchased a new OEM ballast, bulb and wire all for $59.95
PM me and I will give you the source.
