Ford Taurus 99 Headlight & High Beams Out Help!?

The drivers headlight stopped working - got a new bulb- didn't work, fuses were blown changed the fuses (headlight still didn't work) - used high beams to drive at night (not that bright of high beams) then the high beams went - got new fuses blew both fuses when attempting to use the lights. I know it is probably a wire-ing problem anyone have any ideas or have you seen that kind of thing before to know how to solve the problem



Please do not make comments on going to the mechanic only, or getting a new car. Those are obvious answers. Ford Taurus 99 Headlight %26amp; High Beams Out Help!?First make sure you are using the correct fuse and lamps. Then check for wire damage in the proper locations. Something is shorting it out. Like a wire touching the body or other part of the car. If you don't know please take to someone who can fix it because it could start a fire and that would be bad. Good luck.Ford Taurus 99 Headlight %26amp; High Beams Out Help!?Sounds like it's just very corroded connectors at the headlights. If the car uses relays, check that. There location is in the owners manual. You should removeit and clean it's terminals and see if that works. Fuses blowing is never good. Are they still blowing? You should take it to someone who knows what they're doing. A melted wiring harness is not cheap to repair. If cleaning connections doesn't help, you may indeed melt a harness by messing with it.
