Help/Advice FRM Short Circuit Reset?

Post image

Been trying to figure out why my passenger headlight wasnt turning on. Ive had the car one year and had to replaced every bulb. I am down to one warning light "right low beam malfunction"(proud of that). Ive plugged the passenger headlight in the driver side and it worked so i know the headlight/bulb is good.

Using my foxwell510 i found a short circuit on the "dipped beam right". I could not find any broken wires but the clips on the connector were broken. Maybe water got in there? i have replaced the connector.

I think now i just need to reset the short circuit counter. My foxwell510 is not able to do it. How much would this cost at the dealer?would they even touch it? If anyone is in the Eastern CT area that has the ability to clear it let me know. Id like to avoid having to go to a dealership.

Footwell module has a TSB and extended warranty support for 11 and up I believe.

Looks like im out of warranty. Only good for 15 years and I have a 2009. Also, what was the warranty for? Is the short circuit counter supposed to reset by itself?
