2005 Conquest - Headlights Not Working

[Romulus]

Greetings all,

 

I Have a 2005 Corolla which has no headlights at the moment.

On First setting of light switch - parking lights and instrumentation lights work.

On Second setting - no low beam.

Push light switch stalk toward dashboard - no high beam.

Pull light switch stalk toward steering wheel to flash high beam - high beam works.

I removed the low beam bulbs and connected them individually to battery power just to make sure they weren't both blown - they work.

I then located the 2 15 A fuses in the fuse box in front L/H side of engine bay (L/H & R/H Headlight) - they're both O.K.

Then I took out the fuses and checked across the fuse fixtures with a multi-meter while headlight switch was turned off or turned to parking - no power there.

Then turned the switch to low beam - power is there.

So the light switch appears to be working correctly.

Then I put the fuses back & tested the plugs that go onto the light fixtures with the meter while low beam was switched on - no power there.

So.....

Either there is a problem with the headlight relay, or maybe wiring has been damaged or a junction connector is faulty

I would think if wiring has been damaged, a short would occur, in which case the fuses would have blown.

As for a headlight relay, I can't seem to locate it.

According to the illustration on the inside of the lid of the fuse box, right next to the two 15 A Headlight fuses there is a space allocated for a

50 A (EMPS) & 40 A (Head Main) fuse or relay but in my fuse box there's Just a big blank space where they should be.

Any thoughts on locating it, or any other leads would be appreciated,

Regards,

R.
