[QUOTE="Cynthia Grant, post: 999837, member: 57992"] About 1 or 2 years ago I put Silverstar headlight bulbs in my 2003 ST (165K miles). Last night for the first time I found that the left bulb is not working on low - it only works when I put on the high beams. Since it is the same bulb for both high and low beams, I assume the bulb itself is not burned out. Could this be an electrical problem? Not long ago I also noticed that the light bulb in the dash behind the gas gauge was out, but then it was back on the next time I drove the truck (it has gone out a couple of times since, but is now back on). There have also been issues with the electric locks - the buttons on the driver and passenger sides will both unlock the truck, but will not lock it. It still locks and unlocks fine with the remote fob and the door keypad. Could these issues be somehow related to the headlight issue? I don't currently have a mechanic that specializes in electrical work, so have not gotten any diagnosis yet. Thanks for any insights! [/QUOTE]
