I have a headlight that won't work even after I put in a new bulb it still won't turn on. Where do I start to look at to solve this problem? Is there any way for me to check the wiring to and from the headlight or could it be the big outside headlight it's self?

Check to see if there is power in the wiring to the light socket. Also, check all fuses both in the vehicle and under the hood.

Each headlight has 2 fuses, 1 for high beams and 1 for low beams. Usually the 4 fuses on the right side of the fuse box under the left side of the dashboard.
