Low Beam Issues -- Passanger Side Only

[REI600]

Hey Guys and Gals,

 

Been a long time since I was on this website since before tonight... 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.

Bust out the multimeter and work your way back man. Check for earth and power seperately and then switch to ohms and check the wiring.

Yeah, my mind was heading in that direction too.

 

Actual fault instead of a strange glitch.

Cheers 😄

Eh it's just how you check things.

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 😄
