The low beam headlights don't work. High beam is fine. I replaced the

Is there a single fuse that feeds these lights? or is it a relay? If
so where is it? I've googled for ages on this but can't find any
info. I keep reading about passenger side fuses but there is no
passenger side fusebox in this car. There's a load of fuses below the
steering wheel and box of them under the bonnet. Problem is, non of
the fuses are numbered or labelled in any way, except for amperage.
There are no diagrams or box layouts or or even a hint of what fuse
is for what and there's nothing on the internet to help with this. I
read that the Haynes manual is useless for this so don't want to
waste any more money. I've tried hunting for a service manual but
all I get is links that go to dead ends. Any advice to get these
lights back on?

(Assuming a 1.4 petrol? Ask again if you want me to check another
variant, although they are probably the same.)

Autodata shows 3 fuseboxes; 1x under bonnet, 2x fascia. Headlight fuses
are in "fascia 1" fuse box, so perhaps there is another one?

However, each lamp has its own fuse; low beams are F31 and F32, so if
they are both out it's unlikely to be the fuses(s).

From the wiring diagram, it would seem there are no relays involved, so
my best guess would be a connector failure between the light switch and
the fuse box.

Pugs are notoriously difficult to do electrical fault finding on; it's
almost like no two are ever the same, and none of them totally conform to
documentation. Good luck!

Have you checked the bulbs - its not unusual for both bulbs to blow at
the same time.

Could be loose wire? check all the wires and the fitting at the lights even the earths as some times if they are not tight they can play around with your lights etc..

I drive an 03 diesel version and its the 3 spades in the plastic moulding
which plug into the bulb that goes open circuit from corrosion every year
or so.

Need to spray wd40 all over it that stops it.
