My 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid driver's side low beam headlight is stuck. Do you have any tips/tricks to get it out? I changed the passenger side no problem, but on the driver's side, I can't pull the electrical connector off and the bulb itself won't turn.
The bulb if any corrosion use a screwdriver to pry the plug from the connector. Becarful not to break parts. As for the bulb not being able to get it out of the socket. That also may try prying it from one side to break the seal if it got to hot it may have melted into the plastic and is just stuck. Go easy and don't break stuff. You know how it's suppose to come off since you did one alrrady. Compare to the other one. And see what might be making it stick or not turn.
Hello Carey Martin,
Totally FREE circuit drawings and TECHNICAL
Service Bulletins (TSBs) are available for most
USA Market vehicles (import & domestic.
Registration is required as these are usually
authentic/specific FACTORY drawings.
Your trouble sounds a little more like
some skilled advise would help... (rather
than being whooshed off in the DOCUMENTS
direction...
(Most likely: burnt bulb/bad connection)
IF your metal to metal surface (or electrical)
contacts are heavily corroded together... the first
REMEDY you could try...
Apply some LIQUID WRENCH (sparingly)
and let it soak in... Re-apply for better coverage
(to soak MORE in).
It is most commonly available in SPRAY cans...
I do NOT recommend applying it to electrical
surfaces in the spray form: Get the small drip
bottle or SPRAY into a suitable container... then
use a tooth-pick to apply to your HEAD-LIGHT
Surfaces...
KEEP all these sprays, grease & finger
marks very FAR AWAY from GLASS &
REFLECTIVE surfaces.
When you do FINALLY expose you electrical
contacts... REMOVE all dirt & corrosion.
Burnish the contact surfaces with a soft pencil
and put a protective layer of WHITE LITHIUM
grease (or at least Vaseline... SPARINGLY) on
those surfaces BEFORE reconnecting BATERY.

Hope this gets you started (comment me back
(I used to read Circuit Drawings for a living)).

Fuses nearly always blow because of a bad earth. The switch only needs to short for a moment and the fuse will blow.
See if you can find a replcement swtich from a local breaker's yard or ebay and go on from there.

There are two filiments in each headlamp; one for low beams, and the other for high beams. It is possible that the both right and left low beam filiments burned out at nearly the same time. Otherwise, there may be a fuse, or headlight relay that is causing the problem. If all these check out good, it may be your headlight switch needs to be replaced.

Well I suspect that you may have developed a problem in what's called the Multiplex unit. It's an integral part of the fuse box in Honda CR-V's. It's possible that the cargo trailer caused the problem by causing too much current to be drawn thru the system, I have a similar problem with my 2002 Honda CR-V and have been told I need to replace the multiplex unit and they are quite expensive. You may have to bite the bullet and have it checked by your nearest Honda Dealer.
