Re: 1998 Cavalier LS headlight issue
Did you test to see if there was any power going to headlight ? Did you check the fuse?

Re: 1998 Cavalier LS headlight issue
possibly a bad splice (corroding) in the wiring harness . you will have to follow wiring harness back from headlight . when you find a splice give it a good look and pull on it see if it comes apart. these cars are bad for headlight wiring. How`s the voltage at the battery ? it seems kind of low . Check your posts ,be sure they`re clean and tight.

Re: 1998 Cavalier LS headlight issue
Does anyone know if this sort of wiring job is easy to do? By the discription of whats wrong and things that were checked, looks like i have the same issue.
