Hi, go easy on me I am new on!!!!

07 997 turbo triptronic

Driver side xenon dipped head light is out. Tried the basics bulb and ballast both fine. I dont thinks its the fuse but what fuse number is it as I dont have a fuse card on inside of the lid.
I am not getting anything with volt meter at terminal blocks 11 and 12 on the head light connector/harness, so no power getting to head light.

Am I missing something basic??
 
You might have to get a tester on the car and check for fault codes then clear them .

The front end control unit gives the 12 volts with the other wire going to earth .

I would check you actually have an earth as if so we are into a control unit problem .

As a safety matter the front end CU will probably not send a voltage to the bulb until it has the fault code cleared .. it will then recheck the bulb and make it work if all ok .

Wiring below .. the only fuse being in the current dist box .. Not the fuse box and this is more than just a single bulb fuse so it wont have blown .

Right mouse click on the image and select view for a larger image .
