CC77 hasn't been on here since 2004, so I doubt he will read this, but glad you fixed your vehicle.

thanx

I had the same headlight issue on a 95 explorer eddie bauer... No driver side low beam.. good bulb.. good fuse.. etc. After pulling out the LOM it does have an obvious loose pin, the solder apears cracked all the way around the connection where it goes through the board on the back side.. I am going to have a friend who works on circuit boards solder the pin back in this week and will update on my results.
