Headlight problems

BruhBrahBrad · Dec 13, 2008

OK well heres my problem..... my car had the battery dead for about 2 weeks and now the headlights dont work but the highbeams do?

It could be that connector behind the headlight knob. Do your parking lamps work? How about you cluster, does that light up?

wait im trippin which ones are the parking lamps

edit*** Yeah they work every thing works but my headlights and my one foglight. Ive only got one fog right now.

check your fuses, if nothing, then pull out the harness, then pull out the bulbs, and take a volt meter to the 2 wires in the connector. If you have no power with the lights on, then put the bulb back in and work your way backwards looking for any shorts or bare peices of wire. Good luck

Its weird tho because they did work before the battery died for 2 weeks and its weird my Highbeams work, I mean it all comes from the same bulb right?

No they are 2 separate bulbs

Really? thats weird Cuz I only put in one headlight bulb and it worked before now. I know the corners have their own but the actual headlight?

Its only 1 bulb with two filaments in it, thats why the one bulb does lows and high beams.

Hmm so could it be a fuse because my dash clock and my fogs also dont work
