| Description of the problem | Low beam headlights suddenly went out, both at same time. Replaced with new bulbs, still no low beams. High beams work and fuses ok (high beams are on same fuse as lows). Measured zero voltage at bulb connection for low beams. Major safety issue. I have seen on the forums many owners of 2002-2004 experiencing the exact same issue. It is related to wiring at the headlight switch in the steering column connection overheating. The parts used in these vehicles are the exact parts involved in a recall for civics for the exact same reason. Why not for cr-v's? |
