I have a 96 cavalier and only the driver high beam works...replaced the bulb and still doesnt work...any suggestions?

Check connector may be bent.

The light socket itself could be bad. If you turn on the lights and put a meter on it you can verify there is power at the socket. If not you still have to trouble shoot some more. No power at socket could be wiring that went bad or melted but you will have to remove the socket and test the wires themselves. No power at the wire bare ends you have to go back to the fuse distribution and check that. Low voltage sucks for this very reason. good luck.

Here is a link to the wiring diagrams for most vehicles http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html

replace headlight switch/dimmer










TIM.....

probably best to work backwards:
the fuse itself will be fine if the lights come on at all, so at least at that point it should be fine.
first you'll want to check with a known good bulb (or put bulbs in another car [if available] to verify they are fine) to make sure you don't just have 2 burnt out low beams (high and low beams are separate filaments)

if the known good bulb still doesn't work (but normal high beams and DRL do) check the contact points where the bulb gets plugged in for any corrosion, then onto the wiring itself, feel the wires for any signs of damage; extra stiffness, very darkened areas, or very sharp bends/kinks (as much as you can reach)

The low beam and high beam are seperate, one can blow and the other will work, you need to replace the low beam bulb only, any auto parts store will have this bulb

check for loose or broken wires

check headlight relay

Autobuygide.com list the recall for this problem.

try replacing the fuse because low beam and high beam are two different systems
