My passenger side headlight will not operate. I've checked/replaced the bulb and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Any suggestions?

I would recommend checking the light bulb connector. Remove the bulb from it's connector and look inside. If you see burn marks anywhere in the connector or corrosion then you are more than likely getting a poor contact with the bulb. To fix this you must replace the bulb connector.
