Passenger Side Headlights Fuse Blowing

[erik]

hey guys, anyone had this problem?

going to check the contacts in the switch today.

but anywhere else i should look? dodgy earth points are anywhere that shorts out?

dodgy earth points OR anywhere that shorts out?

[jhjones]

Have you changed anything recently or did it just start happening randomly?

[erik]

it would happen every couple months but now it's daily,

i installed hids but i have checked the connections and it used to happen prior to installing them

have checked an earth next to the lights and that was loose, tightened it up and they still blow

had a related problem with a truck im driving . . .it turned out a male to female connector was burnt out pretty badly but still passing electricity thru for a few mins before the fuse would blow, hard to find as the connectors were inside a large white plug and not seen from the outside, maybe you need to go thru your wiring loom leading to the headlight and see if you have the same problem?

i had a look today and found a 8 pin plug with only 5 in use, was covered in shit so i sprayed co-contact cleaner on it and reconnected, the connections looked fine though, guess i'll have to keep looking

[mr031]

just trace the wiring, if your car is really low, perhaps check under the guards.

do you have anything else leeching power from the same circuit?

[erik]

off the lights? Nah, not that i'm aware of and it all seems factory
