Heres how it's wired: dash switch to multifunction/dimmer switch then to the fuses, lamps out module, then to the headlights.
Since both low beams are out, it's most likely a bad multifunction switch.
If you have a VOM & want to test the multifuncton/dimmer switch post back & I'll tell you how to do it.

something i've came across is on the back of the multifunction dimmer (turn signal) there are 3 wiring plugs. 2 big ones and 1 small gray one with only 4 wires going in. I've found a few that that small connector was bad and the connections were loose. Just check the connectors.

I can provide a scan of the preliminary EVTM that I have for my 97 Mountaineer... should do the trick. Pop me an e-mail addy via a PM.
Of course, once you get the info it is up to you to figure out how to use it without killing yourself or the truck

I have only one headlight out and the bulb is good. The switch is functioning properly but no power to this headlight on low beam. Hi beam works fine. I thought I remember reaking on a forum that it could be the headlight out" system check printed circuit board. Where is that located?
Thanks for your help in advance

Lots of guys have found loose solder joints in the module & simply resoldered them. Sure beats spending 80 bucks for a new one.
As I recall the dash panel just above the center console needs to be removed to get to the LOM.
