1998 S70 GLT SE headlight issue

Post by aek0121 »

My front headlight went out yesterday, so I went to the store and got new bulbs and tried to put one in.. Well the new lightbulb didn't work either. And at a closer look the old light bulb wasn't even bad, something is wrong with my electrical. My brights, fog lights, driving lights, tail lights, turn signals, and brake lights all work, it's just the one headlight on the passenger side that won't work. My boyfriend checked it out and is going to try to replace a few things today, but I wanted to ask on here what might be wrong with it. Also My light bulb out warning light has been on for 3 months, but the whole time it's been on all of my lights have been working.

Probably the wires inside the assembly are bad and are shorting the light out. He can pull the assembly, 3 bolts, take it apart and find the bad wires. Tape them up
