Vehicle is a 93 Ford Ranger. My son visited me yesterday and mentioned that one of his headlights was out. Upon observing, I noted that both low beams were out. I removed one headlight bulb and sure enough, one of the filiments is broken. My son swears that he had one low beam working just the night before. I suspect a wiring problem since the odds of BOTH low beams failing within 24 hours are very high. However, both of the high beams work ok. That leads me to believe that maybe the wiring and switch is ok. Turn signals, stop lights and parking lights work ok. If I replace both headlight bulbs and both of the low beam filiments blow, where should I start looking as to a short circuit? By the way, I checked the fuse box under the hood and could not find any headlight relay. Is there one? Does the Ford have a built in circuit breaker in the headlight switch as do most other vehicles?
