Yesterday my passenger side headlight went out. I went and replaced it with the new bulb this morning but it still wouldn't work. I checked the connector and it's not getting any juice but all the fuses are fine, has anyone come across anything similar or have any suggestions on why it still wouldn't be working??

I'm certainly not a mechanic but I figured the bulb replacement would be an easy fix and I'd like to avoid the dealer if at all possible.

how did you check to see if the connector has any juice... not being a mechanic and all.

I used a meter. I checked all the fuses and I got 12s for all of them but no read when I checked the actual connector.

you're going to need to track the line from the connector back. I would estimate that it's right at the connector itself. make sure all pins are seated correctly.

my friend is having a similar problem

The pins are okay, I don't remember using any excessive force on the wires at the base of the connector but it was rusty and the connector clip was uncooperative when I first tried to remove the original bulb.

Should I try cleaning the connector or shave the wire to test it?
