No low beams on passenger side

[Griffin]

Well as the title says the low beam on the passenger side is out, fuses are good and so is the filiment in the bulb. I replaced the bulb just to see. Well I then thought a ground maybe, but the high and low are grounded at the same point with the same wire( I believe). I then checked the plug and everything looks fine. Anyone had this problem?


Thanks in advance for any help

did you try switching the fuses out to be safe? i have seen fuses that looked ok but wouldnt function correctly..

also maybe try pulling the relay out for a minute and putting it back, it could possibly be stuck.

only things i can think of unless there is a frayed wire in the harness under the drivers side headlight, which is a common place to find a short.. but if it was shorting i would think your fuse would have blown, so start with replacing the fuse and pulling the relay and reinserting it

I will have to try that.


Thanks

Oh, meant to ask. Are the high beams and low beams on the same fuse?

hm now that you mention it im pretty sure they are, i remember a few people having issues with higher wattage bulbs blowing the fuses when high beams were flashed.. so then its not a fuse issue! could still be a relay issue maybe though

low beam operation
When the lighting switch in HEAD and the dimmer/passing switch in LO, the lighting switch provides a ground path to the headlight relay and the dimmer/passing switch provides a ground path for the lo beam filaments. The headlight relay energizes and provides battery voltage to the headlights and the lo beams light up.

Hi Beam Operation
With the lighting switch in HEAD and the dimmer/passing switch in nhi, the lighting switch provides a ground to the headlight relay and the dimmer/passing switch provides a ground path for the high beam filaments. The headlight relay energizes and provides battery voltage to the headlights and the hi beams light up.


heres a blurb on the operation of the headlights from the electrical troubleshooting manual

so it sounds like if the lo beam works and hi beam doesnt, it would be a ground path if its not the bulb

Ok that makes sense. Now is there a seperate relay for each side? maybe a stupid question. And, I don't have high wattage bulbs.
