Hi folks,
It's my first time here and I'm struggling with a problem. It's probably something super easy but I've never seen anything like this before. I've got a passenger side headlamp that's out. No problem, I'll just run to Walmart, grab a $10 H11 bulb and change it... which I did.
...and the headlamp is still out. Huh. That's odd. So I measure voltage at the plug and sure enough, it gets 12v. The light fits snug too and jiggling the connection doesn't work either. I've even hooked a spare H11 bulb directly to a 12v source and it still doesn't light. How is this bulb getting voltage and still not lighting up?
I've taken a known good bulb, into the socket... and still no light. This is almost laughable and I am about to think that I am on a hidden camera show and someone is messing with me.
The only thing I can think of is that there's some other connection that the bulb most make other than the two pronged connection at the bulb. Either that, or there's a relay that isn't working, and the fusebox diagram is just magnificently unclear:
Now this might be the easiest question ever, but I can't explain it. Anybody have a good place to start looking?
Thanks folks.
