Left headlight out, not fuse, not bulb :/
Today I pulled out my throttle body and gave it a good cleaning (unrelated to headlight issue!) and cleared three codes my CEL was showing. The car is running great now. :thumbsup:
The other problem I've been having is puzzling me. The left side low beam headlight isn't working. It's not the fuse (unburnt), and not the bulb (good). When I checked in the headlight, the plastic connector behind the light bulb was very brittle and a bit cooked/burnt, and it broke when I tried to pull it out. That was not the problem however.
I got a multimeter and read 11.8 volts on the battery with the headlights on. Reading the voltage on the light bulb socket there was nothing. I checked the fuse and the fuse is unburnt, as new. Reading the voltage on the right side headlight (the side that works) fuse I get 11.8 volts. Reading on the left I get zero, nada, zilch. So, somewhere before the fuse box I have a problem. I imagine somewhere along the way a single wire from the headlight switch splits into two for the fuses. Is it at a relay, or in a relay? Can someone get me the wiring diagram for the low beam headlights on these cars?
