ferret Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Look in your fuse box for the left or drivers side fuse. It's probably blown. This should be in the Fusebox under the hood by the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Also check the ground to the chassis. That's a common cause of dim lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Clark Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 The same ground is applied to both lights. Check the voltage at the bulb, which comes straight from the fuses. The 12 volt line should be the middle tab, but I'm not exactly sure. Just compare both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlelegacy Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hmmm... I would have said bad ground too, but if both left and right ground share a ground, I would suspect corrosion in the wiring that feed the dim light. A good multimeter should help you identify the source of your problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
