lowbeam not working

I have a 1997 Exlporer in which the lowbeams stopped working. Two years ago I added fog lights, which were wired into the lowbeams as per the instuction for installation. One burned out not to long ago and before I got to replace it my lowbeams and foglights (no power to the light in the switch on the dash) stopped working. The highbeams and running lights are fine. I checked all the fuses, nothing wrong there. Is there a relay or solenoid that could have blown. Thanks for your help.

Time consuming.

You need to put an volt meter on the circuit to verify it first.

Earlier in the site i read about a lamp out module that was causing this problem.. It is located near the centre of the dash closer to the passenger side read on in this forum for specific details

The Haynes Manual was useless. Had a mechanic fix it for $85 plus the part. It *was* the switch in the steering column.
