CzarMohab Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Symptoms: Driver's headlight low beam does not light. Replaced bulb with new and nothing. Swapped fuses (and relays) with passenger side, and passenger side still lights, but still not the driver's side. High beams on both sides light. Socket for the bulb is good. Pulling both relays gives me approx. 60/40 split in illumination to both, with 60% going to the passenger side. This one's a real head scratcher for me. I've narrowed it down to an electrical issue (open circuit or short, not sure which at this point). But where in the ~1 1/2 to 2 feet (or so) of wire is this "gremlin"? Only thing at this oint I haven't done is run a volt meter over it, but this is a lack of owning one issue more than anything else. A lenghty search through the forum gave me plenty to go from, but I'm thinking that this might be something unique - or just something that is hiding in plain sight.

nipper Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Its not just a Baja issue. It is the hedalight socket usually. It is making a poor connection. Inspect it closely, as they do tend to work loose with time, and then they start to overheat, then they melt. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
