Passenger Low beam Doesnt Work MFS?
Was working on a friends 06 F-250 and was trying to wire in some plow headlights. I must have shorted something out and the Passenger side low beam doesn't work. The high beam works and the drivers side high and low work. The fuse under the dash is good. From looking around, is it possible that the multi function switch on the column got shorted out? Any way I can test? Any other things I can check?
Thanks

I had something similar happen on my 06' f350 6.0 and after checking the fuse and bulb, both were good, I followed the wires up and found that they had either melted and shorted out or shorted out and then melted right above the turbo in the plastic wire tray. It got about 10 wires in total. I just soldered in new wire and heatshrink and I was back in busines. Hope that helps you some.

Both the fuses are good. Both the bulbs are good. Is there a relay?

Did you check fuse 47? Each low beam circuit shows it has separate fuse. Fuse 47 for right (passenger) low beam and fuse 48 for left (driver) low beam.
If both are good, change the bulbs from side to side to make sure bulb is not the problem.
high beam is fuse 30.

So you were hooking up some plow lights?
Were you using those blue wire taps ?
You quite possibly broke the wire in two at that location.
Go back with a test light and probe above the point you were tapping into the wire.
You have been given a wiring diagram , I would thank the poster , and use that.
