Right headlight not working

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I thought is was the bulb but after i changed it still did not work. I have a good ground, but power is weird. on the the other lamp ihave a full 13.9 volts with the car running, but on the one that is bad i only have about 11 volts. Now i"m guessing that the voltage is dropping when i put a load on it. Anyone heard of the before. Is there a touble some area in this circuit?

	Tim I've had trouble with lights, not exactly the way you describe, I was loosing power to both dip beams, turned out to be a bad joint in the half burn box, what model and year is your car?

	I've sent you a private message, I'll be back on wednesday & try to help you then, there is another thread on this forum somewhere where several of us have been through this before, that might help you if you can find it
