I'd be willing the bet the headlight not working is either:
  1. The bracket holding the connector is cracked
  2. The wiring inside the housing is old and cracked
On my car the bracket was cracked so when you slid the headlight unit into the car it wasn't making the connection on the back of the housing. I also have suspect wiring inside the housing--it's not causing a problem yet, but it probably will at some point.

Pull the headlight out of the car and you'll see what I mean.

If all the connections are ok, the netting to check are:
1- what type of light are they? If Litronics, could be ballast
2 - all grounds at the light
3 - light switch
