1997 ford crown vic lx.Both directionals work, Hi+lo beam work,but amber driving light on driver side does not. passenger side ok.3157 bulb runs driving and turn signals. I checked the 2 bulb harness with 9 volts and all filaments light up. the 3156 bulb only works when the turn signal is put on. this is the way it should be.Just no power to the left driving light. Is this part of the circuit powered by the headlight switch or the master control on the steering columb ?Can i safely jump a line from the passenger side hot to the driver side hot just for the driving light part of the 3157 bulb ? all hazard lights work. I don't believe it's the LCM. NEED HELP ! THANK YOU

Is the bulb holder rusty , it sounds like a bad earth. With a volt meter probe the bulb holder earth to the power terminal should be battery voltage. if not probe power terminal to metal part of body should be battery voltage if not fault in wiring.
