**tommy1223** · 03-31-2004, 05:11 PM

my driver side headlight is out on my G3 teg. I know it's not the bulb cuz i checked it and it's not the plug that plugs into the bulb cuz i relaced that with a new one. and i know it's not the fuse cuz the other side works.

what could be wrong with it?
do i have to replace the whole wireing harness or what cuz it's pissing me off.

someone help!

Each headlight has a fuse. That means, there are four fuses for the four headlights.

it happened to me to all i did was bang it a bit and it worked

Left and right side may not necessarily have the same fuse.

Did you swap the left bulb to the right side to see if it really works? I don't know how you would tell if a bulb is good just by looking at it.

yes i did switch the bulbs aroudn to see if it is broken or not and it's not. i even switched it twice in 2 different days and still not working.

labled 40A

check the wiring harness...

Unless we have different setups, there are 4 10a fuses. Can someone confirm this? I don't understand why they'd make one fuse control all 4 lights...

i dunno what year integra do you have? i have a 99 integra

on my friend's cl he has 2 20a fuses. i told him i have ONE 40A fuse and he didnt believe me till he looked.

ya i know it's weird.

That is fuxored.

It should at least be seperated by left and right and not necessarily high beam low beam.

Park light could all be on 1 fuse, but not the headlights. Are you sure you looked at the headlights and not the park lights.

Take out that 40A fuse and see what doesn't work anymore.

Just a suggesstion.

Check to see if the non-working socket has any corrosion in it. If this is the case, you'd have to splice-in a new socket.

in my old GTP all the lights were on one faulty fuse... one night on my way home from Banff ALL my lights powered off...interior too.... scared the PISS out of me
