Low-beam headlight problem

[Haxxorz]

So randomly it seemed, one of my low-beams went out. So I thought it was bulb, but when i replaced both; one side still didn't work. Checked the fuses and the one blows whenever i try and put another in. What's your ideas? short somewhere...but where?!? I've been a jerk and just drove with brights everywhere in town haha.

check to see if your wire harness is loose behind the eyelid/mount. might be rubbing/binding enough to break a wire. ??

^ Also, that thing gets covered in that yellow goo. Clean it off.

Also if can throw something out, both my high-beams work fine. I kinda feel like its not the connection then, ya know? All i know for sure is the left low beam will usually work and the right will blow a fuse everytime i try it. immediately

Most likely wire(s) behind right headlight bucket are broken and shorting out. Had same problem on my old 87. On my present 89 I have never retracted the headlights, they're always open and have never had any headlight wiring issues. I don't even know if the retractor motors even function anymore.

One plug, three holes/connections. High, low, ground. If the low goes out, and the ground and high-beam doesn't, the high-beams won't be affected. Like I said, clean them, and like someone else said, check for a solid connection.
