My passenger low beam will not work. I’ve replaced the bulb and nothing. I want to check fuses but there is no fuse book to show me what is what. Does anyone know which fuse to check or how a can solve my problem. I also switched sockets to make sure it wasn’t that and the passenger one works in the driver side so it’s not the socket.

Hi and welcome to 2CarPros.

It sounds like the ground for that headlight may be bad.

I would test the socket for a good ground and then trace the wire back to where it bolts to the body and clean that.

Here are some instructions on how to test it with a multi-meter and a test light:

Let us know if you need more help.
