Low beam not working

My driver side low beam headlight went out, put in new bulb, no fix. Checked the connector with a multimeter, the high beam is reading 12 volts roughly, low beam connector nothing. I dont see any debris or rust on terminal inside connector housing. Fuses are good to go, any quick fixes on this?

 

Not really any quick fixes. You'll need a wiring diagram to trace back and see where you have (and don't have) power

 

Assuming you have low beam and high beam relays, swap them and check. Easy way to rule them out, and a cheap fix if that’s the issue.

 

Are you sure you checked the right fuse?
There are 4, one for each high beam, 1 for each low beam per this schematic:

Here’s the full headlight wiring diagram so you can see the relays as well:

 

The power source for the low and high beams all come from the Headlight Relay and get separated at the DIM Relay. So if one of the Headlights work on DIM and the other doesn't it is an issue down stream of the Headlight and DIM Relays. The only things downstream is the wires, bulb sockets and the fuses.

I suggest rechecking the fuses ( all four ) with a meter.

The money says a blown fuse for that position that isn't working.

 

does sound like a fuse or relay issue. before you buy new relays, just bypass them and see if they work. Process of elimination

 

They are both fed off the same relay so if one side works and the other doesn't it can only be a fuse, wiring, or bulb.

 

Start from the source and check everything in between. Where where you have voltage and the voltage stops, that’s you issue. Could be a broken wire, don’t know. Trace it out with your meter and find out why the power is not getting to the lights.

 

I will add if it comes down to poking wires to check for power make sure to seal up your poke holes with a little liquid tape.

 

for sure, he replaced the bulb already, fallow the wire and find the issue.

 

Dealing with same issue. Replaced bulb, replaced fuse and then found no voltage going to the plug. Interested to see if you found a fix and I'll post when I get it figured out.

 

I ended up switching the high and low beam electrical feeds in the bulb harness. I don’t have a high beam now but do have a low beam. A lot of troubleshooting in the wiring, harnesses, fuses, etc. and that’s the only half-ass fix I could come up with.

 

Never thought of that. Good idea if I can't figure it out. Thanks.

 

What is hard about following a wire backwards from the socket to find the real problem area?

 

How does an adult misspell “follow”?

 

Auto correct, maybe?

 

Wow, you felt like you had to interject and call me out for misspelling a word that was probably caused by auto correct. Well, I hope my mistake made your day, so you can call me out and help you feel better about yourself. You should ask your therapist why you think you feel like you had to do that. How do you trust an adult narcissist. I hope your life gets better.

 

Though they did dig up a 4 year old thread to follow you, how nice..

 

lol nice, I missed that!

 

Must have been waiting for his chance and realized he missed it by a few years. Better late than never.
