Exclamation Driver's side front turn signal, low beam & hi beams stopped working

I have a 2005 X-type with xenon headlamps w/Auto Level option

The Driver's side front turn signal, low beam & hi beams stopped working.

Both Fog lights work as does all the rear lights and all the front passenger front lights.

I checked the fuse and its fine. Any suggestions????

Frank, for all of the lights in one corner of the car to go out, odds are, you are having a ground wire issue as that is the only thing common to all of those lights. So, you will need to remove the front bumper and then remove the headlight housing. Then under the housing, you should see 2 black wires running to the metal part of the body. Those 2 black wires are you problem. You will most likely find that the bolt that holds the 2 wires down as broken off some how or come loose and that is causing your issues.

I'm right with Thermo on a faulty ground as the probable cause but on my 05 the ground point is easily accessible from the engine compartment. There are two ground points down behind the headlight unit. The one for your lights is the outer one of the two. No bumper removal needed.
