99vw jetta fuse keeps popin.help.

Thought driverside headlamp was bad. so i replaced the bulb. the headlamp still did not work. I then checked the fuse and it was blown. replaced the fuse and as soon as I started the car the fuse popped again. all the side markers and fog lamps work. this is only the driver side headlamp. If i put the high beam on the driver side the fuse will pop. this is a 1999 vw jetta..wolfberg.

Unplug the bulb and try the fuse again. If the fuse doesn't blow, replace the bulb.

SOURCE: How to replace a headlamp on 2005 VW Beetle

I had this same problem, I used this blog link to replace the bulb in both of my headlights. I'll be honest here and tell you the passenger side is much easier than the drivers side. I'd recomend two of you be there for the first one, after that it's a one person job.

I have a 2006 ford escape and the passenger head light low beam will not work. Tried replacing the bulb, and check fuses nothing is working.. what else can I try?

Both your low beam and your high beam is protected by the same fuse, so it makes sense that the fuse is OK if the high beam is working on the passenger side. There are 3 fuses for the headlamps. Fuse #13 in the Battery Junction Box (20 Amp). If this fuse is blown, the headlamp relay will not have any power and neither high nor low beam on either side will work (you will have no headlamps at all) Then there is Fuses #2 and #3 (15 Amp) in the Battery Junction Box. #2 goes to the left low and high beam and #3 goes to the right low and high beam.
The headlamp switch uses a SINGLE CIRCUIT to control BOTH sides at the same time, so if one side works, the switch cannot be the problem. The headlamp relay provides power for fuses #2 and #3 and we already ascertained that these fuses must have power since we have working lights on both sides, so the relay cannot be the problem. A replacement bulb has already been tried, so that pretty much leaves us with a bad lamp socket. (Most likely cause) or a bad connection at splice #S122, which is located in the main wiring harness near the breakout for the left headlamp. (RED/BLACK wire)

On my 99 jetta My headlights don't turn on only the driving orange lights and the hight beams work but there is only one bulb for both? And my wiper lever doesn't work the wiring is all messed up and...

have you checked the fuse for the head lights? it only has one bulb for both low and high beams, so it could be the low beam fuse that went out, and if not replace the light bulbs, but make sure you check the fuses first.. good luck!

I recently replaced a heater fan on a 1992 chevy lumina euro, and now the headlights will not work on it, the rest of the lights do but the headlights wont, i checked all the fuses on the car including the...

Have you tried High Beam and Low Beam? Your headlamps are powered by a self-resetting circuit breaker located in the Component Center which is located under the right side of the dash. (see picture)dttech_4.gif It is not likely that the circuit breaker has failed.(although possible)
If neither the high beams or low beams work, you probably have a bad Headlamp Switch or a bad Dimmer Switch. If one works and the other doesn't, I would check the bulbs first. If the bulbs are good, then you still may have a bad switch. Also check all your ground wires near the headlamps.

Hello all, help required please! The dipped headlamp bulbs keep blowing on my X Type Jaguar, 2.0 SE petrol 2003 model. I've been told that the wiring needs to be replaced to resolve. Ideally I would like...

This is not really a solution, but more like a thought.. If the wiring is bad.. you'd be more likely to be shorting out, blowing fuses.. Have you checked the voltage regulator? If it's spiking from time to time, could blow head lights, without necessarily blowing other things. Have you checked the headlight mounts. Vibration could cause them to go out offten. You did not say how often they blow ! Or if they go together or one at time. [One thing I noticed with high performance bulbs, they seem to last almost exactly one year. (Give or take a month )]
