Drivers side headlight

[Ramiro0727]

My drivers side headlight keeps going off. I wiggle the connector and it turns on then turns off again. Is the connector bad? or Should I replace the whole wiring harness.

Thanks,
Ramiro

Did you pull the connector off and inspect the contacts? Are they clean and straight?

It is possible that there is a loose connection within the light bulb itself.

You could swap the left and right light bulbs, and see if the problem now appears on the other side, or if it remains on the original side.

Joseph,

Yes i inspected the connector . I found there were some exposed wires on one of the cables. I ended up cutting the connector off and bought a replacement connector and soldered it on. Now my light stays on.

Thanks,
