Unhappy 2005 SX2.0 (Neon-like?) light problem

low beam headlight and running light do not work, High beam works normally, parking lights are OK. What could be the issue? I doubt it could be fuses as left and right are separate. Maybe someone could suggest where to look? Thank you

Could be a faulty MFS or melted MFS wiring.

Thank you Darthroush,

So far I checked all fuses and relays (checked ALL on both panels - just in case) and relays and learnt that Low beam relay gets power on coil when ignition is ON, but there is no voltage on it's normally open terminals. Will remove the multi function switch and look.

Unfortunately I could not get wiring diagram to see how power goes to the lights...

Best regards

You can get black and white diagrams from the FSM, linked in my signature. The colored ones are from a paid site.

Thanks again, Dartroush,

With your schematic that time I found that both low beam lamps burnt out. after replacing them fog lights came to life thenselves. I should start with checking lamps but did not expect four lamps do not work because two of them burnt out...

Best regards,

ok, i'm a noob to the new sx2.0. my girlfriend has been having issues with her headlights recently. she has one bulb that's good and the other where only the high beam is functioning. would that cause both lowbeams to not function? or would that possibly be a relay ? i checked all the fuses and they're alright.

So neither low beams work and only one has the high beam working, but you are certain the bulb that has neither the low or high beam is good? I'd venture to say the MFS, but I haven't heard of an issue where only one beam of one side is working. Might check the MFS out though. Won't hurt. It's behind the steering wheel.
