I have a 2021 Nissan Sentra that came in for a front end collision. The driver headlight was smashed. I ordered a used headlight and installed but it didnt work.

The passenger headlight initially worked but quit working while diagnosing if any wires were broken on the driver light harness.

I had funny power coming from the ipdm so replaced the unit as well and now I get high beams on both lights when the combo switch is pulled back bit no high beam when the switch is forward. Also no low beams at all.

My digging led me to believe that the module would need programmed and I took it to nissan for a scan and program. $227 later they tell me it was the combo switch went bad and a $700 bill to replace. I got a used unit to install and no dice, same situation with no low or high beams.

Does anyone have any input, 2 weeks into diag and parts to end up at the same place. Id rather not send it back to nissan for another couple hundred and a wrong diagnosis. At the end if my rope here.

Any help is extremely appreciated.

I was a senior in high school over 20 years ago. Pudgy kid with a very small group of friends. Went to vo-tech every other day and did the co-op where I could cut school early and go work for credit.

I busted my ass to gain a good reputation as a hard worker and get some experience in the trade, but few people knew I worked there.

One day one of the guys working at the shop started talking about his buddies truck getting the wheels stolen off of it while it was there. He was pissed because it was his buddies truck, and even though it wasn't the same department he felt some type of way because he reccomended his buddy come there.

Fast forward a couple days and we are on the bus to vo-tech. Im sitting with a couple buddies and this douchebag that would rag on me and fuck with me non stop started bragging about how he stole these wheels off a truck at my work. Man, I was shocked how freely he told us about it. But this asshole wasn't a friend, and I hated a lot of people back then because I just took all the shit and never really stood up for myself so I decided... fuck him.

Couple days later after thinking about it a lot, I decided to tell the co-worker I knew who did it. It was kind of a big deal at my shop because it wasn't something that ever happened. I went up to co-worker and told him that a kid at my school did it, that he told me he did it. I said I would give his name and school and thats it, but I would never talk about it again, not to give my name to anyone and if he did I would deny it and I'd act like I never told him anything so keep me out of it.

A few weeks later I find out that they caught him and he got hemmed up legally. Served the cocksucker right imo. He approached my buddies and me asking us who told because apparently we were the only ones he told which seemed odd to me but ok, we all denied and thats where it stayed.

I had some fear of being found out after that, even a few months later at a field party some of his friends were there and brought it up. They were talking about dishing out justice to whoever sold him out, I really thought I'd be fighting for my life that night because they were fired up, and of course I figured they tied me to it. I left and never heard another word about it, never really hung out with those guys again tho.

I've never told this story to anyone, but think of it occasionally. It was a shitty thing to do on all sides, but treat people with respect or they may just want to see you burn.
