v40 Both Low Bean Headlights Dead S40-V40 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be James on  Thu Aug 28 04:44 CST 2008 [RELATED]

Both low beam headlights on my v40 just stopped working. Bulbs and fuses both check out OK. Does anyone have any idea of any additional failure points?'

Just the switch in the dash or a ground wire. Turn the headlights on with the key in posII and check for voltage at the headlight with a test wire grounded to the engine. If the test works, then it is a loose ground connection.

High beams are on a separate circuit. If the tail lights come on, most likely a ground fault for the low beams.

Hi James just got the same problem with a 2006 v40 and can't find which fuse controls them.
