Headlight mishap, Need help. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Okay so I messed up admitting you have a problem is the first step, my driver side headlight was out so I disconnected it. I left the positive and negative wires exposed. Needless to say they bumped and caused my passenger headlight to go out. I assumed and hoped it was just a fuse I popped but it was not. Tried testing the relays, they were doing their jobs correctly, and obviously no power was going to the headlight wires now. Maybe there is something I'm not catching or cannot think of that one of you guys might know or can suggest. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

i literally just had the same problem. everything works normal and fine except my lights dont turn on. i have no power to the fuse's in the passenger side fuse box. i wired a power wire directly to on side of each fuse for the time being. i think i have to unwind the harness going into that box and find the problem wire's. i would like to know if there is a better fix too though. but for ow you can try that.

could you have possibly fried your headlight switch?i coulda sworn the fuse is inbetween tho. if you have a spare try it out.

I'll have to hit up the junk yard tomorrow then and grab a new switch. Which powers did you tap into for the fuse? Doing this allowed you to continue to use the switch. Hmmm, if thats the case and it does work I didnt fry the switch.

here's my suggestion: Bring it to the manufaturer for repairing or maintaining.
