Low beams not working.
I have a 1998 F-150 XLT.
The daytime running lights work, all park lights and high beams.
The low beams do NOT work. Left or Right.
Anything common I should check?
Thanks.

Is there anyway to test if it's a faulty dimmer switch? Can I bypass it somehow?
The dimmer switch is $154 canadian and not returnable.

And to my knowledge there is no way to test it.

I agree, Ford wants twice what they can be found for anywhere else. That sounds like a dealer price. When mine went really bad my lows would not work, it happened when I dimmed from bright to low one night and I had no lights all the sudden.

I'm getting $78 for the switch from rockauto.com with $18 international standard shipping. That's $96 shipped to you from the US,so the dealer that quoted you $154 needs to lay off a bit.

I replaced my muti-switch for the same reason....low beams would work/not work. Kinda scary at night when your low beams go out!
I bought the switch from the dealer back when they were 49.99 USD! Took me approx. 30 mins to install.
