I had a fuse blow for my passenger low beam. After I replaced the fuse the headlamp still didn't work, so I tried a different bulb but still no go. The car only tells me that there's a problem with the low beam when I physically disconnect the bulb. Does anyone know if there is a relay for the headlamps that could have blown or something?
I've got the same problem, the computer doesn't pick up the bulb being blown but it does detect it when I pull the bulb out. They do have relays but I haven't managed to find them yet, its either one of them that has gone or the control module is on the blink.
Its more likely to be the relay though, when I investigate and locate it, if it fixes the problem, I'll let you know.
