In Reply to: You should definitely not pay someone another $300 to replace the harness.... posted by Mikey P on June 18, 2002 at 10:07:52:
I suspect the shop messed up my headlights after PaxMax : Under no circumstance that I can imagine short of an engine fire should you need to replace that harness. Do you own a multimeter? : -MP : : This headlight problem is giving me a headache. : : 2 years, I used over-wattage bulbs 9004 : : Thus, I paid $300 to have some replace the wire : : After about a year, the problem resurfaced, so : : Yesterday, I added new 55W H3 bulbs to the factory : : Now I am upset that this problem kept coming back. : : Is there anyone that can give me any advice???
My passenger headlight only works some times.
The low beam passenger headlight will sometimes
automatically turn off after a while. It sometimes
the headlight takes a few seconds later to turn on too.
If I switch from High beam to low beam, eventually
the low beam will stop working. The high beams
have no problems though. The problem is only on
the passenger side. I wind up driving with
one headlight. (+ fogs)
installing my new stock 55W H3 fogs. I suspect a 2nd ground problem in the headlights. Could the fogs
be competing with the headlights for ground?
I noticed that the passenger headlight is less
bright than the driver side one.
: Is the passenger light not working at all now or is it only working sometimes or is it taking a few seconds to come on like it did a while ago?
: : headlight bulbs for a few days. After noticing that
: : they were not very bright, I switch to stock
: : bulbs. Soon afterwards, my passenger headlight
: : turned off frequently.
: : harness.
: : I paid $7 to my electric to splice an extra ground
: : wire to the fender chasis bolt. This fixed the
: : problem for about 3 months.
: : fog light connectors. I was testing all my lights.
: : After testing my headlight high beams, I noticed
: : that the low beam on the passenger bulb stopping
: : working again. This the 3rd time this problem occurred.
: : Should I replace the wire harness a 3rd time?
: : Why would adding new fog lights affect the headlights.
: : Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the passenger
: : headlight to turn on. I thought I had fixed the
: : "ground" problem with the extra ground wire.
: : I have ran out of feasible ideas.
: : See my picture below of the extra ground wire (in white).
