Headlight issue
« on: October 07, 2009, 11:46:23 PM »
Ok...so my left headlight recently when out, and i thought it was just a simple bulb problem. so i went to change the bulb and realised that there was nothing wrong with it...
so i checked the fuses. Ta-daa...the fuse that controls that headlight is blown. so, as you would, i replaced it. but! the fuse blew...

wat could be wrong???

Too much resistance in the circuit.  Do an ohms check if possible.  Clean the connector & maybe swap the relay.
