fuse for warning chimes and driver's side light
fuse for warning chimes and driver's side light
My driver's side head light is not working, and around the same time the light went out, the
warning chimes stopped working (chimes sounds with light on when doors open, beep
when key is left in and door opens). seat belt beeper still working.
Since they stopped working at the same time I assumed one fuse controls both.
For the headlamp, There are 3 positions for the rotating lights control on the turn signal -
bottom position - right and left lights come on in that position (so daytime running lights working)
2nd position - lights same
3rd position - left light goes off
high beams work fine
I pulled the left headlamp and right headlamp fuses but neither one is blown.
Any hints where the fuse I'm looking for is hiding (if there is one fuse for both the chimes and the headlamp)

EDIT: I pulled that fuse and it's intact, not blown.
Think I see my mistake - I saw "left headlamp" and stopped looking in the diagram - the ones I examined were #33 and #34 - at the top right (I figured maybe right & left are looking at the car instead of from in the car, so pulled the left and right fuses).
Now I see there's a "left headlamp main" - I'll have to look at that later in my garage in the morning - just got dark out & I don't have a flashlight.

I finally got some time to high tail it to a store, replaced the light and the cabin chimes started working.
So instead of a fuse blowing taking out the light and the chimes, it looks like the light
itself serves as a path for the chimes / beeps, and replacing a bad light restores the path for
the chimes. Kind of strange, only one of the filaments (there must be 3 filaments -
DRL, low and high) on the bulb had gone bad so I'd think any circuit with those as paths
would still be good.
So yeah, wasted my time pulling fuses. And the new Sylvania bulbs are noticeably brighter
than the OEM lamps.
I did want to use an ultra bright LED replacement but none of the local auto suppliers had
any in stock and the online was at least a week's wait for delivery.
