Recently my left low beam went out. So i start to replace it and find out that the lightbulb connecter is burnt and so its the connecter that runs to it. I figured that i could just splice the wires and put a new connecter and lightbulb. Once i finished that, the low beam and the high beam are on at the same time (just the left side). Even though they are both lit, they are very dim.

I have no clue as to why this is happening and was hoping to find some advice.

Electrical problems are some of the hardest things to diagnose online... Would you be able to post a picture of the new connection along with the wires that lead to it? Welcome to the forum!

 

Hi Isaac, is this on your 02 or 86 Monte ?
I think just replacing the connector is not the problem. You will have to check out why the first one burned `out.
Possible that your switch is bad, or a short in the wires.
Do you have a electrical tester..?, to check for shorts & trace the wires ?
Have you done any electrical mod's where other wires have been added ?

Good Luck 4-Sure.

 

theres no electrical mods... and i figured that the switch wasnt bad since the right side low and high beams work properly...

 

what kind of headlight bulbs were you running?...i had this problem with my 03 monte

 

its just the stock 9006bulb

 

i had some cheap blue lights that ran on almost 100w and they melted my harnesses...now all i use is silverstar bulbs they run on 55w so no melting haha

 

GMs have had a problem with burning electrical connectors for years. First I have heard about the problem in a monte. Make sure the wires arent connected backwards just to be sure before you dig any further into the harness.

 

Old thread but I have the same problem what's the fix?

 

i would like to know as well my plug where bulb plugs in is burnt adn bulb wont light .where do i get replacement
