Odd lighting issue

[jvdm]

Hi all,
I have an odd lighting issue on a 2004 Jetta TDI. High beam was out on drivers side, replaced the bulb and now high beam is working but low beam not. Tried 3 different bulbs and same result. Fuse is OK.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
J.

Did the female connecter for the low beam terminal on the bulb get messed up or pushed out the back of the plug? Or possibly the wire broke at the electrical connector.

Thanks Nate.
Did some more troubleshooting today and guess what? Now low beam is working and high beam is not! Looks like it's either or. Not sure what do do next...

Took me a while to figure that one out but finally did. It was one of these duuuuhhhhh moments. Sometimes it's good to check the obvious like the fuses. Guess what - fuse #19 was missing. Now I can blind other people again .
