HEY GUYS SO I HAVENT HAD HEADLIGHTS TURN ON IN A MONTH AND DONT HAVE MONEY TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN, THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT TO A SHOP THEY MADE ME SPEND MONEY ON NONSENSE ![No-no](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/nonono.gif)
SO AS HE WAS CHECKING IT OUT HE NOTICED AND TOLD ME I HAVE A POSITIVE LEAD ON ON BOTH WIRES FROM THE LOW BEAMS. NO NEGATIVE LEAD.
MY FOGS R OK, HIGH BEAMS R OK BUT CANT KEEP ON EM ON UNLESS I KEEP THE TURN SIGNAL STICK PULLED BACK
HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS THAT I NEED A BODY CONTROL MODULE.![Confused](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)

That was the first things I checked fuses bulbs ballasts even put regular halogen bulbs to test the connection the thing that I don't understand is why the + and - wires to the bulb are showing + on both wires I have no ground

If you are running aftermarket lights (i.e. HID) there could be a problem elsewhere in the circuit, but I would still have the multi-function switch checked and replaced as needed.

just seen the reply i need to set up my notification manager, thanks, believe it or not i still haven't got it checked out school got me broke lol i managed to not use it these past months during the evening but now its getting annoying. im gonna try and see if i can find the schematics via torrent n hopefully be able to trace it if not ill just take it to another shop.
if it is the bcm im gonna try to avoid that $500 job and rewire the lights my self and install a diff switch
