need help, only one headlight working

[VirginiaPS13]

First things first ive searched and cant find exactly what I need and ive been working on this thing for 2 days now and its pissin me off. I have a 89 coupe with the pop ups..everything works fine they come up go down hi beams work but with the low beams on, only the passanger side works. Ive checkd relays and fuses all fine and of coarse i get power on a meter, at both lights when on high but when i go to low beam im only showing volts on the pass. side. So I guess my question is, could it be the switch on the column causing this? Any imput would help, And please No SmartA$$ remarks, please keep them to yourself.ThanksBrad

i have a similar problem with my 90 when i flip up the lights they flip up but don't turn on. i checked the plugs with a meter and only the passenger light gets power but only the high beam. but it doesnt turn the light on. ?? weird any help will be great.

i have the same problem on my s14. it is definately the combination switch on the column. from what ive learned, they tend to short out, and it seems to be one of the many common issues with the 240sx.
