The driver side headlight on my 1990 Nissan Stanza has lost power. I replaced the socket so far just with wire nuts and when that didn’t fix the problem I checked for power by removing the nuts and testing between the wires and also between each wire and a bare spot on the frame. There was no power to any of the wires. Is there a fuse or a relay that could be the problem?

Thanks!

yes, check your owner’s manual for fuse and relay locations. I am not familiar with your vehicle. but did you try replacing the bulb? as for wire nuts - they should never be used for automobiles. solder and shrink wrap should be used.

Fuse #2, 15 amp in the under-hood fuse box is for the left headlight.
