Headlights stopped working after only 1 year. Why?
Someone reversed into my car (2014 ford focus ST) about 1 year ago when my brother owned it. The car was repaired at an authorized AAA body shop, so luckily there's a lifetime warranty on any of the parts that were replaced.
Anyway, one of my headlights went out after only 10 1/2 months (got new headlights following the collision)
and the shop ordered me a new one and I got it for free. Fast forward to 5 days ago… The other headlight went out. I'm getting it fixed again for free… I do not know much about cars, but I know I shouldn't have to be getting new headlights after barely a year.
Could it be something besides the actual headlights, like the wiring?
I'm going to the repair shop tomorrow, should I ask them to look at anything else besides the headlights?
A head light is just a light bulb and will burn out over time. They also burn out after a certain amount of time. This is why one went and a little bit later the other burnt out. They are just regular maintenance like windshield wiper's and oil changes.
Happens sometimes
- Headlights, instrument cluster lights, tail lights, and dome light all stopped working at once? 1995 Mustang GT convertible, fuses are good, switch is good. I'm about to do a voltage drop test on it tomorrow but I wanted to see if you Ford guys knew something that I'm overlooking.
- Why are my headlights not working? My headlights are not working on my ford KA (04 plate). I have main beam, side lights and indicators. I have changed the fuses and indicator stalk but still have the same problem. I'm 99.9% certain it is not both bulbs and to be honest I'm struggling to get my hands in to get them out.
- My indicators and hazards have stopped working? I had this problem with my ford ka 56 plate and the relay switch got changed as they said this was the problem but 4 weeks later they have stopped working again. They don't come on at all. Any ideas what could be causing it as surely it can't be the switch again as its just been changed
- My daughter has a Ford KA and one of the headlights isn't working? I changed the bulb but it still wasn't working. This led me to the fuse, but everytime I change the fuse it just blows straight away. Any ideas what could be causing this.
