Check the headlight side for bent or loose pins, and check the car side to make sure that the connector has not slipped out of the socket.

I changed the bulb but it is still not working. I tapped the head light and it worked but then it stopped working.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Also maybe remove the bulb and use some electric grease on the prongs of the bulb..it helps conductivity.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 1 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

I took the light out of the fender and reinserted it, but still not working.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My left high beam is not working. 2002 C4S. I changed the bulb but it is still not working. I tapped the head light and it worked but then it stopped working. I took the light out of the fender and reinserted it, but still not working. Right side is ok. I checked fuse and it is ok. Any ideas how to diagnose and fix this? Thanks,

POST 2Original post

I would look at the plugs (male and female) along with the wiring. Is a pin bent on the plug? Look at the bulb socket for any weirdness. Also maybe remove the bulb and use some electric grease on the prongs of the bulb..it helps conductivity. Just my handful of WAG's

POST 3Original post

As Pete said, it is most likely your connector. Check the headlight side for bent or loose pins, and check the car side to make sure that the connector has not slipped out of the socket. Also, inspect the wiring inside the headlight for cracked or missing insulation.

POST 4Original post

I had the same problem when I got the car back from a fender accident repair. I released both lights and compared them in the living room and found bent over pins on the faulty light socket. Stood them up via long nose pliers. Put the lights back in the car and all was well. So I would check that part. If you have small hands, you can actually insert the connector as you are returning the lights into the car.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
