My driver's side headlight doesn't turn unless I reach underneath and fiddle with the unit that the headlights, turn signals, etc. are connected into...I thought it was just the unit so I replaced it and connected wires accordingly...But it still doesn't turn on unless I jiggle the unit or pull it towards me. The passenger side turns on regardless, it's only te drivers. Any suggestions as to what I should do or what is wrong?

I used to have this problem with the same intermittent symptoms. It used to drive me crazy until I went to town looking through the electrical system for the problem.

 

I found that the electrical "spring" contacts on the headlight column switch were pitted and worn.

 

I used a little bit of wet and dry on the contact surfaces, and carefully re aligned the spring contacts.

I has been working fine for a good year or two now.

Hope this helps.
