I installed a new wiring harness, and now every time the low beams come on I get a bulb out warning on the dash with the annoying beep. It's only lows, not high beams. Happens when the lights are turned on, and when coming down from having high beams on.
I am wondering how the car decided when a light is out. Is there a loop that needs to be closed? Does it measure current being drawn? When I installed the harness I put new plugs with higher gauge wires in place, and used one of the stock plugs as a trigger for the new ones, but the other (passenger) stock light plug is left dangling not plugged in. I'd like to solve this without resorting to plugging another bulb into the plug and wasting the wattage just having it dangle. Please any suggestions, I'm getting tired of the warning on the dash.
