Check your Light Relay. Your owners' manual should show you which relay it is. I believe GM splits the power to the left and right sides of the car in the Relay assembly. There should be a small box under the hood. You may just need to WD40 a corroded terminal and the Relay itself may be okay. Another thing you can try is clicking the Hazard switch several times. The Flash to Pass feature on the Turn Stalk works the high beam, but some of the headlight controls go through the Turn switch.

If all the above fail, try turning off the Autolamp feature and see if the Headlight switch will work on plain off and on like the old cars. It is good that you checked the wiring.

Check your ground wire - you can test it by using a length of 16 ga. wire. Ground wire to something like the alternator bracket by clamping with vice grips. Look on the bulb wire harness and put the other end of your test lead into the black wire terminal and try that. If it lights up then I would just clip the black wire from the harness a couple inches out and connect your test lead. If you have something else grounded to that bracket then strip more of your test lead , loosen the retaining bolt, install your lead and crank it down. Costing the wire ends with dielectric grease will help prevent corrosion from killing your new ground.
Hope this helps!

2001 dodge durango right headlamp inoperative

Hi Josh,
if you check your owners manual it will show you each fuse and what that fuse powers.But you need to have a test light and check each fuse on each side of that fuse.Or remove the headlight assm and check the plug to the headlight with your test light for power.It may just be the headlight.

WHY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT BULB ON 2007 YUKON DENALI WILL NOT WORK

Remove plug from light bulb, using 12 volt test light hook up ground to negative side of battery,then touch probe on positive terminal to make sure test light is functional.next- turn lights on and then probe the plug at each terminal- there should be one wire that has power and the test light should light up. If the test light lights up then you need to test the circuit ground for the wiring harness. So remove the test light clamp and put it on the positive post of the battery. Now retest the test light by touching the probe on the negative post on the battery and the test light should light up. Next with the headlights off-probe the other terminals and if there is a good ground in the harness the light will light up- if not then there is an open condition in the headlight harness- a broken wire or a bad system ground.If both tests are performed and either condition does not happen then a wiring schematic will be needed to perform the repair. This is after all fuses are presumed good.

I have an 06 pt cruiser and my lowbeams will not work. I have changed bulbs and I have checked all the fuses. I tried to install a H.I.D kit when the lights started flickering then went out. Please help.

this sounds like a bad head light switch, you have replaced the bulbs and all fuses are good then i would say try the headlight switch. there is testing you can do to make sure thats the problem but you will need a test light and also a assume the highbeams work. this is a common problem when the headlights start to flicker its due to a switch most times, if was just one light then i would say to check the wiring to light but as its both then i would start with a new or used headlight switch.good day

I have a 1997 outback and I have no low beam headlights. any clues?

The dimmer switch on the stalk usually operates a relay in the fuse box.
It could be the dimmer switch, relay, lowbeam fuse, or odd coincidence both lowbeam filaments went out.
Use a test light and work backwards.

Right side head light dose not work on lowbeam, bulb was replaced and still doesn't work.

THERE ARE FUSES THAT PROTECT THE HEADLIGHT CIRCUITS. CHECK TO SEE IF THE FUSES ARE GOOD. THIS SHOULD HELP YOU OUT REAL QUICK. THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA AND FOR AN HONEST RATING AS WELL. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED. GOOD LUCK

99 mercury mystide had rear running light broken

If the driver's side tail light is working, it's not a fuse. Use a test light to check for power at the bulb holder. One terminal will be for tail light, the other for brake/turn light. If the is constant power for tail light, replace bulb. If no power, trace wiring from bulb holder to driver's side junction. Probable broken wire between the two tail lights.
