Passenger Side Full Beam Not Working?

[gsportcars]

Hi folks,

Since I got the car back I noticed that the sidelights and the full beam on my passenger side head light aren't working. my sidelights have been changed to angel eyes but I realised that the bulb was broke so that problem is sorted!

My full beam still doesn't work though. I have checked the bulb and swapped it with the drivers side with no difference. I have also pulled out every fuse on the car that I can find and they are all ok. The wiring seems to be fine but I still can't get the bulb to light

Has anybody had this problem before or know what the cause may be ?????

Have you got a multimeter that you can use to check whether there is any voltage going to the connector when the full beams are switched on?

I used one ages ago when I was having HID problems to figure out whether it was a fuse problem or not...

I haven't got a multi-meter but I did swap the bulb from the drivers side over which I know is working and there doesn't seem to be any power going to the connector. :duh:

This is kinda baffling me a bit as all the other light functions work fine.

Bump!

Still can't figure this out

Have you checked the Earth for that bulb?

[gsportcars]

Didn't know there was an earth for the bulb??????

I thought that the 2 pins in the plug sorted everything. This could be the problem as the headlights were removed to paint them while the car was away.

Where would the earth be for that then???

I have also just realised that the fog light on the passenger side isn't workind either!!!!

Check in the fuse box by the Battery as each bulb has a seperate fuse

ie

dip left

dip right

main left

main right

etc etc etc

I checked every fuse in the car inside and out and they all seemed fine but I will check the engine bay fuse box again tonite. I don't have any of the diagrams to tell me what fuse does what though :duh:

[Brettster]

sometimes, just looking at a fuse is not enough to see if its broken or not, you could take a known working fuse, from the working headlight and pop it in the non working fuse holder, but a multimeter would really be the best option for testing fuses and the voltage.

sounds like a bad earth to me the two pins in the connector one is +12v other is earth put a meter on to check
