      He did show you how he fixed it. The wiring was crimped and cleared up by testing with different bulbs and trail and error.

    I cannot emphasize enough about how HELPFUL your video was. I have a Hyundai tuscon 2017. The right low beam headlight would turn off randomly. At first for a minute, then eventually for an hour at a time . I was afraid of getting a ticket.
    So I checked the two fuses that supposedly related but they were good. A cheap $7 fuse tester from auto zone is something I recommend always having for any newer vehicle. I watched this video and went straight to the back connector to the headlight apparatus and bulb. It was not screwed on all the way. The moment I tightened it about 1 inch. The light came on…, it was slightly loose!!!!!
    This saved me a mechanic fee and possibly being taken advantage of..
    thank you

    Thank you for sharing! I have a 2017 Hyundai Sonata I’ve been having problems with these headlights and brake lights for quite awhile. I always change them but this time a few days ago my headlight on the drivers side went out, I took the bulb out it wasn’t burned out so I bought another bulb it didn’t work, so now I’m furious and getting upset. My uncle sent me your video and I’m going to take these steps. I’ll keep you informed.

      It's the connector itself you have to replace it cut the old one off and splice the new one in. They go bad in alot of the newer cars

    THANK YOU! I had to think outside the box and find your car. Same issue with a Mazda 6 2016. Took out my high and low on 1 side. Was about to go buy a reply.
    The problem wasn't the wires but it was a Chinese LED upgrade. Short out the bulbs, swap the light, and do what you said. Worked, just need to swap out 1 bulb and save me hundreds or thousands.

    Just fixed it. My issue was the cap on the car wasn’t tightly closed. I turned car on while that one side of the headlight wasn’t working. Kept car running, opened hood & opened cap to inspect light & reclosed the cap tightly. Light just came on by itself after that. All good now. Thanks for video!

    Still fighting with my 2019 Elantra with similar problems. I really think you stumbled onto the the fix but it doesn't seem like you are 100% sure of exactly how you got there. I, on the other hand, am ready to put a toggle switch on the dashboard and forget the whole OEM wiring mess..

      I never had a problem again after the fix. Another thing to keep in mind if u drive uber or at night often your bulb has hrs. On the other hand when installing the bulb connector must lock in the slot if not the bulb will die

    • @loijourney1219
      @loijourney1219  2 роки тому +3

      Yes I was able to fix my problem. So first I check if the bulbs is good from there I check the ground wire that the connector go to frame. If that was loose it a problem. I tighten it more but my main problem was my connector wire was so tight no slack when put it place. I test it by taking it out of it place leave it out and the light turn on. So from there I pulled on the wire that was clip in place let it loose a bit then I loosened the 2 wire apart and once I put it back in place make sure it sit in place tight. That was my problem.

      There should be fuse box in side your car too and outside. It should tell u which one . If your not sure locate a few turn your key on position but don't start car. Then remove the fuse each one to identify which one is off and replace it . Also if your radio not working it could be u have a bad ground too or burn fuse. Hope this help
