Passenger Headlight on 300zx Not working!!!!
Update: I got the headlights to work!!!
I have a 1986 300zx 5-speed
Recently when i got the car both headlights worked. Then one day the passenger one decided it wanted to start going in and out till it eventually stopped working. this is also alomng with the foglight located next to the headlight. the driver side began to blink also, so i took it to my shop Automotive Authority in Chesapeake and they told me the headlight switch was bad. So i replaced the switch and now the driver side works better than ever but the passenger side still doesn't work.
Possible solutions i have in my head:
*maybe there is a bad ground? but why would only one side not work?
*maybe a bad connection or fried wire? How would i tell?
*Bad bulb maybe? But i just bought two new bulbs?
Someone please walk me throuhg this because i need this car sold by the 21st and this problem just arised and everyoneis complaining about the light!
1 757 927 9639 you can reach me there or on here don't matter.
If anyone can come take a look at this i will be more than happy to provide food/beer

take the bulb out the one that is working and put in the one thats not...thats the easiest way to rule out the bulb...unless you have a multimeter then thats easier
