A lot of sh*t has happened since then 😄 Right now though, I am looking to solve an issue that I am having with the ute. I have been having an issue with the passanger side low beam (only) not working. A little time ago, I replaced the bulbs with 55/60 blue and the low beam worked (from memory) but the plug on that side, was partly melted -=- Apparently due to someone using too high a wattage bulb (or so I read). Given my current situation, I am neatening the big girl up and try to get her tip top. This is one of the issues I would like to get sorted. What I Have Done: Thursday -- Replaced passager plug (H4 replacement plug from Bursons) with those shrink/solder/seal joiners joining the wires. Today -- Replaced the bulbs with normal 55/60w (normal being not blue) Effect -- nada 😄 High beams work and driver's side low beam works a treat. It is looking like there is a wiring issue a little further back.... I was hoping not. Anyone ran in to this issue with theirs and have a solution?? Cheers millions in advance.

Check for earth and power seperately and then switch to ohms and check the wiring.

REI600 Member 25 Member For: 8y 6m 21d Posted 24/06/19 09:43 AM Author Share Posted 24/06/19 09:43 AM UPDATE -- Went over a bump and now the passanger side low beam is shining BRIGHT 😄 Good thing -- It is currently getting power and I didnt mess up the plug replacement. Bad thing -- That'll make it damn hard to fine the looseness in the circuit 😄 Anyone know where there are joins/connections I can manually check to see how they look?? A multi wont do squat to help while it actually works 😄 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94931-low-beam-issues-passanger-side-only/#findComment-1685678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
