Default headlight problem

So the problem is that when I turn on the lights the left one doesn't work... only the high beam, I had change all the fuses n it started to work again. I took the car out again and the problem cameback but this time the fuse wasn't burn? I'm confuse on wat it could be.

What kind of car? I work at a dodge dealership and sometimes the front control module has to be replaced when that happens.

Ah, so the turn signal doesn't work either.. Well, that's probably a power or ground issue going to that light. I can't remember the common way that headlights are usually wired, but from what I remember the bulbs usually either share power (in which case the ground is switched to activate the light) or share ground (then the power would be switched). SO that would be the first place I'd look; something sounds like it's affecting that entire light assembly obviously.
