S14 Driver's side won't Turn on

[chingalong]

check the fuse box but did not see any for head lamp except the maxi fuse located at engine compartment.
Bulbs are fine, and wires. The driver's side Headlight won't turn on.!
if it is Light switch, how do I fix it?
thanks a lot!

checked the bulb? wiring? the switch is easy to change out take off steering column covers and its held in by 1 bolt

[chingalong]

how do I know if wiring, or light switch that is the culprit?
bulbs are fine.

most likely the switch. over time, carbon builds up between the contacts.

[chingalong]

how do you clean and remove carbon from switch?
is it easy if I take it out from steering wheel?
do I have to use a 1000 grit, or what type of cleaning material?
thanks a lot.

light ur car on fire so you'll be one big bright ball of light driving down the street.. see problem solved no need for headlamps!!

its easy to take it off the column. cleaning it is the tricky part. theres a white plastic cover that you need to remove to get to the little copper finger things. 1000 grit should remove whatever buildup is there. when you're done, glue the cover back on and reinstall.
