Default Drivers headlight issue.

Drivers headlight blew or so I thought. I have replaced the bulb and still no luck. Neither the old bulb nor the new one actually look blown. Is this a harness issue or something else. I have never had a any problems with headlamps blinking or anything to make me think it was the harness.

Check the #22 fuse in the under-dash fuse box.

I wish. Fuse looks fine. Any other suggestions?

There's also a fuse box under the hood by the battery. Off the top of my head can't remember what exact fuses are there but check that out, worth a shot.

This may be a stupid question, but what is the wattage of the bulbs you are using?

I am unsure of the wattage but it is the standard 9005 from autozone. On a separate crazy note there is a 9005 on the left and a 9006 on the right. I guess one of the harnesses has already been replaced.

It sounds like someone messed with it already.

Aside from the fuses, I would check all the connections then. If someone hacked it, then there's probably something loose. Check the harness where it attaches to the bulb as well. They tend to melt or corrode when people put in too high of watt bulbs.

I had this happen to me and my harness looked fine but after trying just about everything I went ahead and just replaced my harness and the light and it's fine now. I think there may have been a short and I just couldn't see it.
