both my lowbeam headlights aren't working although high beam and parking lights do. probably aloose connection. any ideas how i can fix it sal
If both lowbeam headlights fail at once, it probably isn't the lamps themselves. That would be a fluke. The wiring is usually not at fault. It is vulnerable at the ends where the connectors are because they might become corroded. Check that last. That leaves the two other vulnerable points in the circuit: the fuse and the light switch. Check them out.
It is possible that both of the fuses are bad for the low beam headlights and the cruise control. A loose ground wire could cause the fuses to blow.
Should be coming out of the wiring harness on each side of the car, where the harness is fastened to the radiator support. The ground is bolted to the radiator support on both right and left sides near the headlights- on the back of the radiator support
Most can be replaced by you fairly easily. See your owners manual. For a rough idea on what the price is on the actual lamps, see sources and related links below.
The circuit requires the hi/lo switch. You'll need to get a replacement switch for everything to complete the headlamp circuitry.
It cn be the switch, bulbs or wiring. I suggest if you intend to work on your car to get a shop manal on it from AUTOBOOKSONLINE.COM for about $20
I'm having the exact same problem. Does anyone know what is causing this?
I have to suggest the light switch is bad. A simple voltmeter or test light may help you test voltages. I have to suggest the light switch is bad. A simple voltmeter or test light may help you test voltages.
The manual show it in the back but I could never find the screws to which the manual refers. Here is what I did. The replacement lowbeam lamp only fits correctly one way, with the tab on the top. I kept inserting the lamp, removing, and bending the tab until the beam was'aligned' properly.
Lowbeam is an H7, highbeam/DTR is also H7
