Headlamp not working in 98 Olds Intrigue

Question

The passenger-side headlight quit working in my Intrigue. I replaced the bulb, but (suprise suprise), it still doesn't light up. I have tried to examine the plug-in connection from the entire headlight housing/assembly to the wiring coming off the vehicle, but nothing looks broken or dirty, etc. Is there anything else a non-mechanic, do-it-yourselfer like me can do about the problem? I need it fixed asap since I got pulled over by the police last night, and I'm sure they will ticket me if it happens again!

Answer 1

I was gonna say that you had a bad fuse somewhere but then prolly both headlights would be out. you might also check to see that you are using that right replacement bulb. If not that i would say that you're not getting juice to that light and there must be a shortage somewhere.  

Answer 2

Each headlight has it's own fuse.  Look in the fuse box under the hood for HL left or HL right. Some say Low and High beam. You have a bad fuse. Good Luck    TW

Answer 3

Check for power at the light socket useing a test light and to ground .If you have power their you have a bad ground .If you have no power,you have a open circuit in the hot wire feeding that socket or it is a bad light socket.
