Main headlight not working, got new bulbs, please help!!

[Dacone]

Just had the car Mot'd and now the drivers side bulb is out. I have even swapped the fuses and still no joy. Can't be a bulb cus they're next to new.

Any advice would be great? Any wires need wiggling?

Check the connector block inside the front clam? Also worth cleaning up the fuse contacts, I had a similar issue, fuses looked and tested OK but wasn't till I cleaned them up with some wet&dry that fixed it!

Thanks for the tip! After owning the Noble three years I have no idea where the connector block is. But I'm sure I do just don't know what I'm looking at it you catch my drift..

If you follow the cable back from the headlight you will find it!
It's the snap connector that you would seperate when removing the front clam. There is one on each side.

Great, thanks so much. I shall try this first thing 2mor.

In terms of cleaning up the fuses/board etc, when I took the fuse out it did look very clean but are you saying it's worth cleaning the actual box itself where the fuses connect?

Really appreciate you help

Yeah the terminals can get corroded so give them a clean too. Also worth checking / cleaning the relay contacs.

You could also try giving the relays in the passenger foot well a wiggle . I had to replace mine as the dip beam had burnt out .

If all the above doesn't fix it you will need to get the meter out and check for 12V around the circuit.
Here is the schematic:

Never assume anything!
