Default Passenger High Beam not working
Hi there this has got me stumped, my leftside highbeam is not working I have checked and changed the bulb and even checked and changed the fuse. Funny thing is my spot lights are still working and I jacked into the left high beam 3 years ago for these to turn on when the high beams come on, so up until recently things have been fine, anyone had similar or an idea of what the heck I should try next.

Chris there was crap on the contacts of the bulbs so I assume it may also be in the connectors. From memory taking them apart is a dog of a job I have also heard the the multi function switch could be the the culpruit but I would assume that both high beams would be stuffed if that was the case. I have tuesday off so I am oil changing and hunting for a highbeam problem I will take the connector out and have a looky see then.

We had a lass in the local Jeep club who went out and bought new bulb inserts because she thought she had one burnt out, turned out the connector had mud in it. Clean it first.
