head light madness

[xland61]

:exp:anyone able to give me information on headlights on 1997 ford explorer limited edition 4.0 Sohc. What happened is i lost passenger side dim. Bright still worked on both sides so i put new bulb in still no dim. so being a redneck hillbilly i just tagged into the dim on drivers side lol it worked for the day then lost both sides of dim yikes brights still work fine but state inspector says the dims need to work also can anyone help.Checked all 3 fuses and they are all good and im not much on tracing wires but i guess i nne to start there.

Check your fuses. I know on my '02 there is a separate fuse for each side. When you tagged on to the side that was working you overloaded the circuit and most likely blew that fuse.

Good luck getting it sorted.

Thanks BigRondo all 3 fuses are good so now i guess i need to start tracing wires which i was trying to avoid lol what a mess.

I would just trace all wires and check all fuses. If that doesnt work i would replace bulbs, DO NOT TOUCH GLASS!!!

Lamp Outage Module? Do you have auto headlights? You can do a search here, tons of info on that problem.
