My driver's side headlight is not coming on. I checked voltage, and nothing is coming thru, low or high beam. The passenger side works great. Fog lights also work, turning off automatically when high beams are on.

I checked the headlight relay, and it is hooked up correctly. So my question is, does anyone know which terminals on the relay I should check for voltage in order to isolate the problem? Since the passenger headlight works, I'm thinking is a wiring problem leading to the driver's headlight.

Start at the fuse box and check for voltage at fuses 1-4 that control the hi low left and right. Spin the fuses to make sure they make contact.
A wire diagram will be helpful.

Spinning the fuse was all it took. Brilliant response!! Thank you. That's what makes this such an awesome forum.

But new fuses. They are cheap.

Clean all the terminals on the fuse block
