So a few months ago, I noticed the passenger low beam was out. High beams both work. Figure, hey it’s probably the lamp. Pull it out. Lamp is good. Put it back in. Low beam works again. ????
fast forward a month or two. Drivers low beam does the exact same thing.
Fix problem by unplugging in housing connector, and just plugging back on. Light works immediately.
fast forward to last night. No low beam headlights. Both high beams work. Unplug both low beam lamps. Plug them back in. Both work immediately again.
I suspect I need to hit the spade connectors with some denatured alcohol. Maybe pull the lamps and clean the spade pins on the lamps. Try to clean away any surface oxidation.
Anyone have any similar experiences? I think there is only one ground run to those head lamp assembly, so I am thinking it’s not a bad ground. Just weird both low beams are acting up.
