Ok, bought a 2000 Honda Accord EX coupe. One small problem, at least in the immediate sense.

I have a burned out socket in my underhood fusebox. See pictures...







Now, here's what's going on. I have all low beam (prev. owner installed HID ebay headlights) and high beam on passenger's side. However, when I turn high beams on, I do not get the indicator light on the instrument cluster, and I get no driver's side high beam.

What I have done so far...

I attempted bypassing the burned out socket in the fuse box, but each time I try this, the lights go out and only turn back on when I open the door. I have replaced the fuse in the other headlight socket. I have switched the relays back and forth in the under hood fuse box. I have examined all fuses in the dashboard fuse boxes which are relevant. I have switched bulbs back and forth, they both work in the passenger's socket, but neither works in the driver's socket.

I was reading around on the interwebs and saw something about a module that is under the dash, is that my next thing to check? It's all that I can think of. HELP!!!

Now, I will replace the fusebox as soon as the snow melts enough that I can get out into the local u-pull lot. The question is, what can I rig up temporarily to make the high beam work? Without it working, my inspection guy won't inspect it. However, he's not going to take a super close look at it enough that if I throw in a wire, he'll fail it.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I also posted this same reply at the other forum where you made the same thread. I go by a different user name there.

If low beams work and the right (passenger) high beam works, then the issue is either the power wire or the ground wire going to the driver's high beam.

The same power source (+) feeds both driver's low and high beam, and the high beam indicator bulb in the gauge assembly. Verify if there is power at the high beam socket's Red/Yel wire. If there is power on that Red/Yel wire, then the issue would be due to the ground source.

The ground source for the high beam bulbs comes through the combination light switch (unlike the low beams bulbs). Since the passenger side high beam works, the switch is probably okay. For the driver's side high beam and high beam indicator bulb, the ground comes from an Orn/Wht wire from the combination light switch, through the driver's side fuse box, and out to two separate Orn/Wht wires (one to the driver's side high beam and one to the high beam indicator bulb). -- If it is a ground issue, the problem area should be focused first at the driver's side fuse box (in cabin).

 

I figured out the problem. The Red/Yellow wire is burned out all throughout the dash wiring harness. It looks like when the wahoo hooked up the HIDs he burned out the #45 fuse socket and all the wiring thereafter. So I will have to replace the fuse box, run a new wire under the dash to the high beam indicator and the driver's side high beam. Apparently he has the other 3 lights (2 HID lows and Passenger's High) running off of the #43 fuse.

Thank you for your reply. I hate stupid people who don't know how to wire things, and try to do it anyway. You should see this Viper alarm he put in, I'm literally not going to touch it for fear of what might happen if I try to pull it out. I just have the module unplugged and I'm going to Zip tie it up into place so my feet don't kick it while I'm shifting any more.
