Default Headlight randomly turns on

2014 F150 FX4 that is a rebuilt salvage that had a front left corner damage, knuckle, fender, headlight assembly and bumper. The headlights are aftermarkets for factory HIDs. Randomly the left headlight lamp comes on by itself while the truck is just sitting there. only way to get it off is sometime wiggling the harness or sometimes unplugging. I am guessing there is a damaged wire in the harness so i am looking for schematics to help figure out what to trace. Cant seem to find any schematics, already have the service manual. Is that all that is made for it?

you can buy a wiring diagram, they are separate from the standard shop manual

Go to Ebay and type 2014 F150 wiring manual in the search and you'll get about 4 OEM manuals pop up. Search 2014 F150 wiring diagram and will get you about 7 manuals.

Cheapest one was $50 shipped. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-Ford-F...oAAOSwMChc1YBO

You should always email the buyer to confirm that the manual doesn't have any missing pages or isn't marked up everywhere.
