    Help!

    I need help finding headlight grounds for a prius 17 that go on the passenger side fender held by two 10mm

    both of the cables were ripped by a dog looking for a squirrel. One cable is BROWN held by a 10mm and
    the other cable is WHITE with a Black stripe. I'm having issues with the right blinker staying completely on
    and the headlight blinking when i put the turn signal going right.

    any help if appreciated. I posted pics of current damage. the wiring harness ground that are complete on the pic is from the driver side.

    You have to know if its a 2017 hatchback or a v wagon as a starting point.

    A Prius v is the wagon (lowercase) while a Prius V is a hatchback trim V.

    Assuming you have a v trim 2, 3 or 4 then it’s halogen headlights. A v trim 5 is LED headlights.

    My drawing does not include the DRLs you may have.

    With halogen trace the white black from the sockets back to a junction (probably in the harness right there) where the brown continues to the ground. Or if the dog got the brown I would trace from that direction to the junction pulling off tape or covering on the harness.
