OK, I need to get a manual.  Where can I get one?  Second, I have a very dim headlight on the passenger side.  Driver's side works perfectly.  The passenger side high and low beam both are dim.  I have 12volts on the power wires for both the low and high beam.  I am showing more than 5 ohms of resistance from the ground wire athe the bulb connection to the battery.  Obviously I have a high resistance there, but can't find where that wire grounds to the engine/body/drivetrain.  Please help.  LOL  For now, I am going to splice in a ground, but want to do it right.  I can't stand ghetto repairs.  Thanks ladies and gents.  Oh, mine is a 99 if it matters.

Attached is the ETM (Electrical Troubleshooting Manual). Headlights start on page 100 (pdf page 129). Hope it helps.
Also, keep in mind that there is a wire bundle that goes over the passenger fender that has been known to chafe and short. I have no idea if the headlight wires are contained in that bundle.
FYI, I removed my attached file because it's located here:

Thanks, amazing what a schematic can do for you.  I assumed that the wire I was testing was a ground.  Once I saw the schematic, I realized that it wasn't , and that the headlight switch provides the ground.  I got it now.  Thanks for the link.
