Default Front Headlights Not Working


I'm having problems figuring out which fuse would be the front headlights. Tonight I had to use the Fog lights which worked fine but the normal headlights would not work. Any ideas? I checked the fuse locations in manaual but want to make sure and verify if i checked the correct Fuse's.

did you check the bulbs too and make sure they were plugged in correctly and the connections are all good.

Yes I have checked Fuse map but I want to make sure. I would believe its a possibility of a fuse mishap because had to fix car and changed couple fuses. I made sure that the Headlight Fuses were all set and correct but still not working. Bulb doing fine by the way.

Umm, if the fuse is good, it might be the relay. I had the same problem after installing HID retros, had to replace the light relay.

Stand in front of the car, with the engine off and the hood up. Then have someone turn on the lights. If you hear a click noice under the hood, then the relay is working, if not (and your sure the fuse is good), then the relay is not working. If the relay is not working it could be the relay or something else that is preventing current from reaching the relay.

Before replacing the relay however, check the fuse again and maybe even put in another new fuse. Also check all the connections to the fuse box. If you replaced fuses earlier, you might have accidentaly pulled off a connection.

Just a couple things to try. If the relay is clicking and lights are not coming on, then check all your connections to the lights under your hood. Something is loose and preventing current from the relay to the bulbs.
