Is your SECURITY light flashing? If so, you have a V.A.T.S. problem. VATS stands for Vehicle Anti Theft System. Try getting a new ignition key made because the resistance value has probably changed in the one you have. If that doesn't do it you'll need to get a VATS bypass.
If I remember correctly, there is only one bulb on each side for the headlights. Is it possible that you actually have the highbeams set but the highbeam filament in the light is burned out so you're not actually using the highbeam?
It can be the sending unit or the oil pump really has low pressure, have the oil pressure checked in the engine, if that is ok then the sender or the wiring to it is defective. DO NOT DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL THIS IS CHECKED, YUOU WILL DESTROY THE ENGINE IF THE PRESSURE IS LOW. A NEW ENGINE IS ABOUT $3500.00, DO YOU WANT TO CHANCE THAT?
Have you figued out the problem? I have exactly the same problem with my 2000 buick regal LS Now the headlights are working at all - all the fuses tested fine - high beams lights do turn on when I pull the switch
Power for the headlights on the Left side (High and low beam.) comes from the same fuse... The ORANGE wire and the ORANGE/BLACK are the same, they connect in the harness. If you only lack the 12v to make the light work connect them at the headlight assembly.
If your low beam also lacks ground the Left low beam ground is shared with the right low beam ground... Run a wire from left low beam DARK BLUE to right low beam DARK BLUE/WHITE.
If its not working now then your cursed, seek a witch doctor.
Check the fuse for the passenger side.It is under the hood. it may not be making good contact. wiggle it a little bit and see if it makes any difference. if not, check where the the ground wires are connected to the chasis. See if thats not the problem.
