    Hi,

    My frony left headlight broke on a Wedsnesday, On the Friday the front right headlight broke.
    On the Saturday both bulbs were replaced. The left one is working again BUT
    The front right did not work AND the right driver electric window will not work now!!

    It is a ford fiesta 2009 new shape.
    Does it sound like a fuse is gone or? should be a quick fix?
    any advice would be welcome

    Thanks

    Might be wrong, but I would say they are two unrelated problems, as in its not a single fuse for both or anything.

    Re. the bulb, is it definitely seated properly

    First thing I would check with the window is the fuse, think there might be two seperate fuses, one for the left window and one for the right.

    If its not the fuse, then its possible that the contacts inside the switch have been bent from use, or that some moisture got into the switch while the window was down

    yes true the fuses are separate, we checked them and they seem to be ok. my dad changed the bulbs so he would have put them in ok. possibly a relay switch?

    Take the bulb from the left and try it in the right, if it works your problem is with the bulb.

    If that doesnt work, try removing (if possible) both light housings completely, and plug the left into the right hand side and vice versa. This will flag or eliminate a problem with the wiring in the housing
