I have a weird problem.
TL;DR - Have power to the headlight connector but the headlight still won't light up, even though it lights from the other side's connector
I tried to replace my high beam on my 01 WS6. The socket that my driver's side high beam connects to was really corroded so I sprayed some pb blaster in it to clean it up a bit. Tried the new headlight and it didn't work, so I tested the headlight on the passenger side's socket and it lit up. So the bulb is good. I checked the corroded socket with a voltmeter and it had power.. but the headlight won't work when plugged in to it. I figured it had to be something to do with the corrosion in the socket so I cut the wires going in to it and checked them on it and it still won't light. I rechecked the wires with the voltmeter, still had power, and rechecked the bulb with the passenger side's socket, still lit up.
I'm at my wit's end. I figure there's something simple here that I'm missing, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone help?
