I should join a car forum with all the crap I've been attempting to do to my cars lately. Last weekend was brakes on my car (which was a much bigger ordeal then it should have been), this week it's a headlight out on my wife's car. At first I thought the bulb was just burnt out and it'd be a simple fix...
...I should have learned after last weekends misadventure that no car project is ever simple. So here's my problem. I went ahead and replaced the bulb on the drivers side headlight but the new bulb still didn't work. Just to make sure that it wasn't a problem with the new bulb I pulled the passenger side bulb out and swapped it to the drivers side. Still no light. I also swapped the new bulb over the passenger side to see if it worked, it did. So I've ruled out a bulb problem. Next I went to the fuses and checked them all out. They all looked fine, but just to be sure I swapped all the headlight (hi & low beam) fuses out to rule that out as the problem. Still nothing, driver's side headlight still doesn't work. All the other lights work (parking, indicators, high beams, etc.) can anyone think of another reason one light would be out other then a wiring problem? I really don't want to fiddle with the wiring if I don't have to.
At this rate I think I need to sell my cars and start riding the bus.
