2003 Expedition electrical issues

Hi, just bought a new to me 2003 Expedition XLT in nice shape. It has the following issues;
Auto headlights do not work but manual lights work fine
Headlights on chime does not work
Key in ignition chime does not work

Do these issues have an electronic module in common? Any input is welcome!

Thanks for the reply. I have not had time to check your suggestions yet. A bit of research shows the VSM is a common link for these issues. I will let you know what I find.
