97 CRV passenger side headlight wont light, other side is fine. Tried new bulbs and nothing. The high beam works on both sides though. ANy ideas? I had the higher wattage 100/90 in there, but I figure that bothsides would have went.

They have a separate fuse & relay for each side. > 97 CRV passenger side headlight wont light, other side is fine. Tried > new bulbs and nothing. The high beam works on both sides though.

Hi, Check all the related fuses, relays and ground wires from light sockets. > 97 CRV passenger side headlight wont light, other side is fine. Tried > new bulbs and nothing.

I had the higher wattage 100/90 dude, that's nearly twice the rated wattage - of course you're having problems. if you haven't burnt fuses or relays, you could have burnt out wires. oh, and that wattage is illegal as well. > in there, but I figure that > bothsides would have went. >> 97 CRV passenger side headlight wont light, other side is fine.

Hi, If he messes with non OEM higher Wattage bulbs, it can melt wires or cause fire! > 97 CRV passenger side headlight wont light, other side is fine. Tried > new bulbs and nothing.

Were you careful to squeeze the tiny triangles to make the socket release the lamps or did you just yank and twist and swear at them ?? (bends the grass connectors all to crap).

This morning the only thing that lights is the passenger high beam. Checlong fuses though. Any other possibilities? >>> bigjcw1...@gmail.com wrote: >>>> 97 CRV passenger side headlight wont light, other side is fine.

Any other possibilities? yes, your wiring has probably burned out because you have bulbs rated with much higher wattage than the wiring is [legally] designed for. you'll need to revert to the correct wattage bulbs and repair the wiring accordingly. > bigjcw1...@gmail.com wrote: > >>> bigjcw1...@gmail.com wrote: [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > you'll need to revert to the correct wattage bulbs and repair the wiring > accordingly. Checked the fuses, only one blew. Still no lights though. How much are we talking to get the wires fixed at the dealer?

On top of all the other damage already referenced by other posters, if this guy is in Canada, he may have also damaged his daytime running light module. I had problems with my right side headlight operating intermittantly (regular wattage bulbs!) and the problem ended up being a cold solder joint inside the supposed "No user repairable parts inside" module. Hmmm... $140 for the module vs. 15 cents of solder..... easy decision, but thats off topic here. > On Dec 14, 4:36 pm, bigjcw1...@gmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > inside" module.

Wires are ok, got a hell of a deal, was only charged half hour for labor to check the switched and wires. |
