    Default right low beam light

    ive got a problem... my right low beam light is
    busted. checked the fuses and it is all ok.
    (i think it is fuse 11) yup it is ok.

    checked the wires... there is no current at the
    terminal. checked the wiring with a tester...
    the bulb lights up when i add a current...
    therefore the wires are ok.

    next, i checked the fuse. the tester lights up
    therefore the fuse is ok. the lkm is likewise ok
    since after i looked at the wiring diagram.
    the fuse comes after the lkm. therefore the lkm
    is ok since the tester lights up when connected
    to the fuse.

    now... where do i look? under the fuse box?
    the wires underneath? this is the only place
    where i have not looked at. btw is there
    some other relay to check?

    Default I think I would still do the LKM solder job anyway...

    ...LKM faults are intermitent - working one second, and not the next.

    Default Bring some battery voltage to fuse F11 with ...

    a fused jumper, bulb should light up, if it does, either your fuse is opened or fuse socket is corroded, no mater what you see (Test fuse continuty), or the LKM is faulty (must probable) and you are not getting a proper reading of volatage at fuse F11.

    How are you with a soldering gun? I would put my money on the lkm module.

    You do NOT use a soldering GUN on electronics! It's way too hot, prone to destroying electronics with electrical switching transients, and too damn big to deal with circuit board traces without destroying them. If that's all you have, go to RatShack and buy a ~25W soldering iron, solder, and an antistatic wrist strap that are appropriate for working on electronic equipment.
