I have 1 running light and 1 high beam not working. Both on the passenger side. I replaced both bulbs and nothing. Any ideas?

Headlights
Circuit Operation:
Voltage is applied to the light switch at all times. The light switch includes a self-resetting circuit breaker which opens and closes if the headlight circuit draws too much current. When the light switch is in "Head," the headlight dimmer switch directs current to either the lo beams or the hi beams. Current to the hi beams also flows to the high beam indicator.
Troubleshooting Hints:
If only one headlight doesn't work in both "hi" and "lo", check the ground wiring.
If headlights don't work in just "hi" or just "lo", check headlight dimmer switch.
If headlights flash on and off with switch in "head," isolate short to ground. Operate the headlight dimmer switch to find if the short to ground is in tan or lt grn wires.
If only the "hi'" headlights flash on and off, check lt grn wires for shorts to ground.
If only the "lo" headlights flash on and off, check tan wires for shorts to ground.
If both "hi" and "lo" headlights flash on and off, check the yel wire for a short to ground.

I dont know much about wiring, so im a little confused. Maybe i should explain better. My passenger running light never works, but the blinker does. Also my passenger high beam doesnt work. I replaced the blinker/running light bulb and the high beam light, but it still doesnt work. Now what should i do?

1984 camaro running lights not working
Ok, so i got a 1984 camaro i am trying to fix up. The diver side head light works fine but the passenger side is dim. The running lights do not come on. The break lights come on, and the reverse lights work as well. I replaced the light switch assembly, naturally i had to pull out the gauge cluster, when the cluster was out the lights worked fine all of them. I put it back together and nothing back to not working. What is going on?? Please help.

Does there need to be a ground from the motor to the frame?
