    electrical issue..

    When I put my head lights on I don't get any power to the driver side low beam or tail light. I've checked my relays and fuses. I'm stumped.

          I can't seem to find the full version of the E30 wiring diagrams, he one I have seems to have a lot of pages missing.

                  K, I just gutted half of my interior. I can't find any broken wires that run from the taillight to the knee panel area, or from the headlight to fuse box. It's gotta be a fuse box issue? To be honest, I don't even understand where the low beam fuse/relay is. The e30 fuse box diagram doesn't clearly explain it, imo.

                  But my passenger side tail/low beam work. Are there separate fuses/relays for the passenger and driver side low beams?

                            You most likely can't spot a broken wire from a visual inspection. Normally a broken wire is inside the insulation.
