My driver's side headlight is dim, its lighting, but is dim. The highbeam icon on the dash is also very dimly lit. Is this a bad ground wire? If so, where do I check the ground? It is a 1991 940SE Sedan

I had the same symptom on an 86 240 and found that the connector on the headlight bulb had a bad connection (burned). I cut it off and spliced in a socket from a parts car.

The ground is at the inner fender wall at the front. The ground and the lamp itself is a good place to start. Looking at a 1993 wiring diagram which may differ from a 1991, the warning light has its own ground and should not dim.
