No right side low beam

[infidel got me]

I'm putting the finishing touches on the 923 after painting. Had a little free time today, so I figured I would install my headlights. Easy enough-- well not really. So, this is what we are working with. 7 inch glass lenses w/ hella 24v bulbs. Drivers side works fine, passenger side has no low beam. I have no voltage/power on # 17 wire on passenger side. Took driver side bulkhead connector loose and checked continuity between #17 at pass.headlight and bulkhead connector--have continuity, also cleaned grounds. So, my problem is from the headlight switch out. I did look at switch wiring diagram and it was kind of vague. Keep in mind that everything else is working correctly--just no power on#17.

Run you a jumper from #17 on the drivers side if it gets to be too much of a PIA to fix.

I know my OCD will flare up if I do that, but if it can be fixed relatively easy, I'll try to troubleshoot it first--or just shoot it!

Check continuity between #17 and #91 terminals on the bulb to verify the bulb is good.

Wire #17 and #18 start at the dimmer switch and are split between the two lights. #17 is split for the low beams and #18 is split for the high beams. They don't go all the way back to the 3 way switch. Wire #16 connects the dimmer to the 3 way switch. If the bulb checks good then the problem has to be between from the split in #17 and the bulb if one light is working

Pull #17 from the dimmer switch and the passenger side bulb connector inside the bucket and check continuity between the ends.

Thanks S.D. I will check that wiring tomorrow-- stay tuned!

See my edit above for clarity.

You should also have continuity between #17 on the driver side and #17 on the passenger side since they split from one wire. If your bulb checks good then I'd check this first. No need going all the way to the dimmer switch if one light is working.

Gotcha

I checked it out this afternoon and I have power after bulkhead connector, but not at headlight. So-- I will just coverlay a new wire over to the headlight. I'm not pulling all that harness apart! Thanks Andy and Swamp donkey for the help.
