Headlight was stuck on brights, then died
 
Hello, I've got a 1985 300TDT wagon. First my driver's side headlight stopped working when switched to brights (still was fine on normal). So I figured I should just replace the lamp. Did that, and then it was permanently on brights. Then it died altogether yesterday.

Does this sound like a fuse issue? I'll just replace all of them (saw the thread under tech help which mentioned doing this first). But what I want to know is does this sound like it's a wiring issue? If so, what are the proper steps to take to fix it?

Thanks,

Ben

The first thing I would do is to check the lamp sockets. I've seen sockets that have melted and caused problems. The second thing to do is to visually check as much wiring as you can, especially anywhere it is near something to rub.
