Default 92 SE-R Hi Beam - 03-07-2007 , 11:37 PM






Passenger side high beam will not work. Replaced the bilb and it still
doesn't work. Tried bulb from the driver's side and it still doesn't work.
In short, it's not the bulb. Tried disconnecting the plug a few times to see
if it wasn't making a good connection. Haven't checked for voltage in the
connector yet but wanted to ask if anyone else had this problem and if so
how did they fix it. Thanks.

Checked voltage this morning, not getting 12 volts to that bulb when I turn
on the high beams. Any ideals? Also driving lights (fog) not working.
Strange, I get 12 volts on one side, drivers (bulb looks good, good
continuity but it still doesn't come on) and no voltage on the other side.
Don't think the problem is related but wanted to throw that in if they are.

I think they are fed by separate relays. Take a look at the relay bank.

Yeah I agree it is separate relays but, I don't think it's a relay problem
as the other side works in both cases. I think it's a bad wire or something
like that. Thanks for the response.

If your car has them, it might be the module for the daytime running lights.
I had a similar problem with my old 94 Altima and it turned out to be some
cold solder joints on the board inside the DRL module.

You can swap the relays and see if the problem follows.

Unbolt headlight switch, open up and clean copper contacts. Common Nissan
problem.

Thanks for the response, I will try that.
Could this also be the problem with my driving lights (fog lights)? They do
not work. Put in new bulbs, get the green light inside on the button but, no
fog lights. I know they are supposed to cut off when you turn on the high
beams. Just wondering if the problem with them could be in the switch also.
