1986 Nissan Maxima passenger side headlight

Replace the bulb. The low beam filament of the bulb has burned out.

I did replace it with a new one and the low beam would not light up. I replaced the bulb with the driver's side and it did not work. I replaced the socket with a new one, it would not work.

I put the passenger's side bulb to the driver's side socket, the lower beam would work.

What could I do? Thank you.

The passenger side low beam is not working, high beam works fine.

I replaced the light bulb, fuse, socket.

The driver side headlight works good. I put the
driver side bulb into the passenger side socket, and the same problem: only high beam and no low beam.

So the problem has to be the power supply to the passenger low beam.

Thanks for your patience.

Remove the new headlight socket. Use a volt meter, with the headlight switched on, probe orange/black (+) and orange/blue (-). If you have no power, the problem may be in the headlight switch or the headlight sensor.

I replaced the switch at the steering column and the headlight works fine. Thank you. Tony

I am glad everything worked well. Good luck.
