Default Wiring problem or something simple?

Of course it only happens to my gf when she has the truck but occasionally the “brake” light will come on the dash and the drivers side headlight will go out and it’ll loose all wiper functions, sometime a bump will fix it or set it off sometimes it won’t any ideas? I’ve only had the truck a few months but i drive truck across country so no real time to dive into it unless I know where to start thanks in advance trucks a 2017 f150 sport with a 3.5

Both the left side headlamp and wiper are grounded at G100. Could be a loose or dirty ground connection.

While the post and diagram above may not help you fix your issue (hope it does), it is responses like these that keep me coming back to this forum. Thanks @52merc !
