Why is my headlight on my passenger side not working?
If not chec the wiring between the fuse box and the headlight. The ground is on the core support I believe. If the high beam is working check the power at the plug to not trace that color just the color for the low beam. Make sure the ground is good as well first before spending time tracing wire back to fuse box.
Is it possible to fix a bad low beam headlight?
Fortunately, fixing a bad low beam is a straight forward process in the majority of vehicles that can be done by most people without just a few hand tools. If replacing your headlight bulb does not work, there may be an electrical issue in your vehicle that should be addressed by a professional. Identify a blown out bulb.
Can a high beam light bulb be blown out on the same side?
If the high beam on the same side is also out, it may be one bulb. You do not need to purchase specific bulbs for each side, but identifying which is the blown out bulb will help you to replace it without having to start the vehicle again.
Is the passenger side light out on my Silverado?
Just checking to see if you ever figured this out. I have the exact same issue with my 2011 Silverado. Passenger side daylight running light is out but the bulb is NOT burnt. All fuses and relays appear to be good. Hi Billhealy, i just ran into this issue with my 2012 Silverado, did you figure it out? thanks in advance, -Lorenzo

What’s the fuse on the passenger side of the headlight?
Looking at the fuse box there is four fuses on the bottom left. Those are the fuse for the headlights. One ea for each beam on each side. Ok so I checked the fuse I found it and it is not the fuse I even swapped them out and the passenger side still doesn’t work but the driver side works with both of the fuses Did you swap the bulbs to be sure.
What to expect when your headlights stop working?
So if you want to know more about what to expect when you take your car in to have your headlights fixed, you may want to read on. When one headlight stops working, and the other one works just fine, the problem is usually just a burned-out bulb.
Why are my headlights not working in high beam?
If just one bulb fails to work in either high beam mode or low beam mode, it may be the bulb. Most headlight failures that are limited to just high or low beams are related to a relay or the high beam control switch.

What kind of car headlights do not work?
General Motors’ GMT400 platform. got a 1999 two door tahoe and the headlights do not work, but the bright lights work fine. i tried new bulbs, new fuses and even got a new control switch. what else can i do? and how? Answered!
Why are both low and high beam headlights not working?
If both low and high beam not working only common thing to both is the ground wire….see diagram…verify by connecting circuit tester from positive battery terminal to ground wire in the plug once disconnected from the headlight bulb on that side….you could check yourself by checking the ground wire on the other working headlight. Any luck yet?

What to do if your left headlight is not working?
If only your left headlight is not working then try to turn on the high beam and see if both headlights work on high beam. If both work then check fuse #26 and left low beam relay in the engine compartment fuse box. Either the fuse is blown from the last bulb or the relay is burned out from the last bulb.

Is it safe to work on headlight assembly?
The chances of running into any issues while working on your headlight assembly are relatively low in comparison to a lot of other automotive procedures. However, it is still necessary to outline a few essential safety guidelines when operating on any vehicle. Your engine is hot. Wait for it to cool down before working on it in any way.
Why is my passenger side headlight not working?
Passenger side headlight not working. Not open for further replies. Over the winter, the passenger side headlight just stopped working. Naturally, I changed the bulb and nothing. The it dawned on me that neither high nor low beam were working, so I thought it may possible be a ground issue.
What to do when both head lights stop working at the same time?
When that happens, the operational lifespan of your headlight capsule will be severely compromised, and the only fix is to replace the headlight assembly. When both headlights stop working at the same time, the bulbs usually aren’t at fault.
Why are my high beam headlights not working?
In the case of high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights, or Xenon headlights, there’s an additional component. To get the xenon and salts to plasma state, the HID generator bumps the voltage up to 30,000 V, then stabilizes around 90 V when the bulb is in operation. If the generator fails, the bulb won’t light.

Why is one side of my HID light not working?
Only one side is working on my HID kit or LED kit. If one side sometimes doesn’t turn on it could be caused by a bad bulb, HID ballast, LED driver or wiring. To help identify which component is defective follow these steps. Swap the ignitors to opposing sides (not applicable for LED kits). If the problem is reversed, you might have a bad ignitor.
Why are the lights on my car not working?
On some vehicles, particularly those with HID headlights or solid-state circuit protection (Zener diodes or high beam circuit breakers) installing the wrong bulb might result in intermittent headlight operation or no high beams at all. The wrong bulb might not ignite at the right voltage or draw too much current for the circuit protection’s design.
What can cause a low beam headlight to be dim?
If it is, use a voltmeter to see how much power, if any, is reaching the headlights. If there is no power reaching them, there is a break in the wiring somewhere between the fuse panel and the headlights themselves. Thanks! What can cause the light to be dim except when on the high beam setting?
What to do when your low beam headlight blows out?
You can often tell when a headlight blows out while you’re driving, but confirm which bulb has actually blown out by leaving your headlights on and getting out of the vehicle to check. Then get back in your vehicle and turn on your high beams. Some vehicles use a single bulb for both high and low beams while others do not.
If the high beam is working check the power at the plug to not trace that color just the color for the low beam. Make sure the ground is good as well first before spending time tracing wire back to fuse box.
Why are my headlamps not working after change?
With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM receives input requesting the headlamps to illuminate. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp low relay coil. When energized, this relay directs power to headlamp LH terminal 1. through grounds E15 and E24.
