Electrical issue

I have a neighbor with an interesting electrical issue.
One headlight works and is getting 12.5 volts. The other does not work and is getting 11.4 volts.
The coach is a 2016 American Revolution.

Any ideas?

Bad connection. Check ground connection first. run a separate ground to clean metal and see if that changes voltage. Those little electrons have to make a round trip to the battery, not just one way.

Yes, I think he plans to run a jumper wire from the light that works over to the one that doesn't.

Running a new ground is also a great thing to try

If it's not a grounding issue, check light socket for corrosion on power in pin. Loose connector can cause heat/failure also.

They are on their own separate relays. Don't combine them.
