I cannot believe this issue continues!?
What is the problem with tracing out one wire?
If it's not the problem you can move to other possibilities, in the meantime a voltage drop supposedly exists along that wire, and headlights won't light up with 3 volts.
Piercing the insulation to probe the wire along it's length is a proven method of troubleshooting and the pinpoint can be sealed with a dab of silicone or similar caulking.
The wire has already been described as possibly having insulation damage, internal break of strands, etc., so all those possibilities have been accounted for. I didn't want to complicate a simple wire trace by suggesting what James did;
rolleyes replacing the wire between the two points; but now that it's on the table it might be easiest for you to do that than try to trace it out from point A to point B.
One thing that might be worth revisiting before doing either green wire option, is to disconnect and inspect and reconnect the underfloor connectors and look for any further signs of water, AND make sure no male pins are bent, missing, etc. And look for a green wire at those connectors and take a reading on BOTH sides of any green wires and see if the voltage is consistent from one side to the other. I would do this because you found the connectors full of water and solved your glow plug anomaly there, so it is still possible that is where the problem of the voltage drop is occurring.
CM out.
