95 EB Headlight + Fog Lights

[rpedigo]

I have a problem with the right low beam and both fog lights on my 1995 Eddie Bauer. They fuse to work. The problem was intermittant, but now they will not work at all. The left low beam works ok, as well as both high beams. (replaced the right bulb, to no avail) Looking for someone that has already gone through the trouble shooting routine. Thanx

well if the high beams work and the low beam doesnt.. itz probably the bulb itself. try switching the left and right bulbs.. if u have the hanes or chiltons, it gives a detailed chart of the fuse panel.. u should take a look there..

Sounds like a short or loose wire, fogs probably get power off the right side, maybe somethings come loose?

Found the Problem

After much chasing wires and checking various modules, I isolated the problem to the "black box" that moniters the light system. The one that reports to the system status display on the console if a bulb is burned out. I installed a jumper to bypass the "black box" (located behind the left headlight) and now the right low beam and the fog lights work just fine. The only problem is that the console display tells me to check my headlights every time I turn them on. I press the reset button to clear the message and all is fine till I turn the lights on again. I'm checking on the cost of a new "black box".... I may just live with the nuisance. Thanks to those that offered advice.
