[Shop-talk] Chasing down an auto wiring issue

[Battmain]

Usually a bad bulb, grounding or wire issue. Normally the fuses cover both
sides, and not a single side. Occasionally you have to break out the owners
manual and head for the fuse description section. If you depend on the little
diagram on the fusebox, you may spend hours thinking you replaced the
'correct' fuse when in fact you did not. BTDT. Also using a known good bulb is
a good suggestion. Never assume.

in the headlight housing (I don't know what else to call them--little white
lights in the corner of the housing...'marker' lights, maybe?).  The driver's
light is out. It's not the bulb. The other lights in the housing work fine, as
does the passenger side marker light.
