Planned repair to headlamp ground connector turned into a more with a repair to the cooling hose.

First - the RH headlamp was dimmer than the LH. The black wire connector located under the slam panel and behind the grille was corroded. Removed the grille and pulled the four black wires from the connector. Cleaned the wire bullet ends and pushed them into new connector lubed with dielectric grease. Headlamps done.

Second - checked all the fluids while the bonnet was open and noticed was low on coolant. Topped it off and started the car circulate the coolant. Once the engine warmed the hose between the head and water pump started to leak. OK there is the cause of the low coolant level. The water pump was replaced in the spring along with a new hose between the pump and cylinder head but not the clamps. The old clamps were used to keep original parts. The lower clamp was not sealing the hose. A new clamp is now on the hose is holding.

Did you know that you need to put the fan blade on before the installing the radiator.
