Puzzling Headlight Problem

[innovate]

I've got an '03 XRS with a weird headlight problem.

The driver side low beamer is out.

Switched out three different, good bulbs.

Swapped out fuses in the engine compartment bay.

Swapped out relays in the engine compartment bay.

Not sure what else it could be.

Any ideas?

Which fuse did you swapped out? there're 4 fuses just for the headlight bulbs alone, did you check the ground side?

Did you check the wire harness?

Simple fix that isn't to expensive, but often overlooked.

were they stock bulbs that were originally in there? If not, i would check the wire harness to see if it has melted.

and x2 on the fuses. There are multiple fuses for the headlights.

The bulb was stock. I tried swapping with some silverstars. Upon removal of the old bulbs, I noticed the filament was perfectly fine. I checked the plug and it looks fine. No corrosion. I double checked to make sure i was working with the proper fuse (ones closest to the bumper). Still no go. Its pretty much a wire harness problem now. I traced the wire back as far as I could, from the looks of it, it terminates in the fuse box somewhere.

use a multimeter to check for voltage at the harness, and then if there is no voltage, move your way back.. Are you sure you checked all the fuses for the headlights? Did you check your bulbs with the other side? How did the bulb go out?
