2017 Ford Explorer XLT Driver Side Headlight and DRL

[talentedq]

I have an ongoing driver side headlight + DRL issue where neither comes on (though the turn signal works). I need to get this resolved soon because I have already been pulled over for missing headlight . Could it be just the fuse or maybe a more expensive issue?

Note: This issue happened before 5 months after purchase and I had CarMax (where I bought it from) replace it for free, but they wont replace it for free again.

The thread I am linking to describes some diagnostic steps that can help determine the issue. You will need Forscan to check for codes, or a shop will have to scan it for you.

What exactly did CarMax replace?

Self-inflected DRL/Low beam/Signature LED issues

Out of brain-fade, I pressure washed the engine compartment recently, forgetting I never replaced the cap after installing brighter Halogen bulbs. I now have several issues. Right side DRL/LB wont turn off no matter the position of the headlight switch. It stays on for 10 minutes after opening...

Welcome to the Forum.
I believe the headlight and DRL are one and the same. The DRL is on the low beam at reduced power. Perhaps you meant the headlight and the Signature light which is the LED strip around the headlight? Is this an intermittent issue or is the headlight completely OFF?
