Default 2011 XLS outlander -issues with front/rear left hand lights after engine replacement

Hi team,

so I managed to stretch the cam chain in my mum-wagon. It was supposed to be a repair however rather quickly escalated to a spendy engine replacement!
in true mitsi fashion I now have issues with front and rear lights on left hand side (passenger side)

im broke as heck after the engine debacle so I am hoping to trouble shoot before wasting more $$ on the stupid thing!

my fog light is still working, as is the brake light when brake is used, however usual running lights are not.

i pulled all the fuses today one by one and they all appear fine.

does anyone have any suggestions on things I could look at/ try before I drive the stupid thing off a cliff ??

thanks 😁

you're missing a ground somewhere, when they installed the new engine, they must have missed a grounding strap or they affixed a ground bundle to something painted that isn't conducting electricity correctly, that's usually the cause of multiple issues
