The brights work, but the low beam is dead.

What do you think the problem is?
Could be a bad bulb. Could be a bad relay. Could be improper wiring.

Yes, above 30 or 35 mph. It is in the owners manual also.

I have a question about checking the AC fuses in the PDC fuse box in the engine compartment.
There is an AC Compressor Clutch Relay
And Fuse #9 is labelled AC Clutch Relay

But, in the diagram legend/key in small print,
Fuse #9 also says something about Fuse #27 (sentry key immoibilzer)

Why would Fuse #9 refer to another fuse? What does that even mean?

Engine Bay Fuse Box (PDC)

Oil doesn't get sucked into the combustion chamber through an exhaust valve guide, but through an intake valve guide.

So what could possibly cause the exhaust valve to be gunked up like that then?

Looks like an oily combustion chamber with carbon on the exhaust valve. Look at the spark plug. was this thing using oil? What do the other chambers look like?

I czeched the manuel. This is correct, including the ambiguity as to which is the actual minimum lol

The system is designed to operate at speeds above 30 mph (50 km/h).
To store a set speed, depress the SET switch while the vehicle is moving at a speed between 35 and 85 mph

The spark plug is oily. I had a misfire cylinder 3 code and did a compression test and got a dry result of 30 and a wet result of 100 plus had oil in coolant. Not a cracked head and all the people I asked all suggested blown head gasket. (Which is why I pulled the 9 month old head off). All the other chambers look fine. Just number three cylinder (which was pictured) is the only one I'm wanting to get figured out and fixed before I put it back together.

The wet test sealed the rings.....
