Have a problem with right side low beam. Changed bulb checked fuses high beam works,but not low. Left side works fine. Could this be the switch?

Do you have the lamps out warning on the dash?

If you do the lamps out module is a prime suspect.

Since the left side works, the switch is not the problem.

You checked both low beam fuses? 4 & 8

87XLT yes the lamps out warning is on. This is a Eddie Bouer model if that makes a diff. Is the module in the power dist. box under hood?

Hard to tell from the diagram that i'm looking at, but it looks like the LOM module is under the center console.

Check with a a Ford dealer parts dept., they can tell you for sure.
