check and wirebrush clean the main lug off the battery...goin' to the chassis ground...there is insufficient grounding here~ put it right with a wirebrush~
1 Is low beam hot wire 1 is high beam hot wire 1 is ground wire. The ground wire is broken or corroded on the passenger side.
you have a wiring issue between the switch and the socket. it is not a ground issue. check all the wiring for that light as far back as you can.
Read what he stated.There is no ground on passenger side. If it was from the switch both sides would not work.
