DEDE Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Howdy all, My wife has a 96 legacy wagon. about a year ago i replaced the left headlight pigtail after it melted. about a month ago the right headlight went dim. It still comes on but is only around half lit.I replaced the bulb and pigtail with no luck. I just swapped the headlight relays with no change but if i remove the left headlight relay the left bulb goes out. If i remove the right relay, the right bulb stays on but is still dim. I am a electrical idiot and could use any help and advice that i can get. A good friend suggested a gallon of gas and a match but gas is sooo high right now. Her yearly inspection is due and if i can't get it fixed she is going to take my Nissan and leave me walking. HELP !!!!!

Cougar Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Check to see if fuse 26 is ok in the main fuse box under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 i would check the grounds and the connectors at the pigtail for corrosion. Also have you tried swapping bulbs to see if it moves. I am assuming we are talking reduced output and not a fogged up lense. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEDE Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi Nipper. Both pigtails are new and i swapped bulbs and still is the same.It is the bulb and not the lense. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEDE Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Howdy all, i just went thru all of the fuses and found one that was a little dark but not obviousely blown. I replaced it anyway and the light came on at full power. Now what will i do with that gallon of gas???? Thanks for saving my butt. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi Couger Which one is fuse # 26? Steve Check the lid of the panel. It should be marked. Edit: Opps I see I was too late with this. Glad you got it fixed. Put the gallon of gas in the tank. Every drop is precious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
