Hey guys - I did a search in the forum and after a long attempt I couldn't find someone with a similar issue regarding an 07 Sport Trac. I also searched google and believe I have the answer to my problem, but... Lets begin. History:
Driving along during dusk or morning when the lights turn on - for a few weeks my driver side headlight would stay off when the lights automatically came on (low beam only), but after a few seconds it would click on, and the usual warning about the bulb would stay on until I shut the truck off. One day the driver side low beam decided not to come on at all and of course the warning is here to stay until its fixed or I don't use the lights.
Ok! So, I buy new bulbs and use the high beams when needed in the mean time.
New bulbs, and still the low beam on the drivers side is out. I have the high beams still, and did the bulb swap - all 4 of my headlight bulbs are good (the 2 old, 2 new). It is only the low beam on the driver side that is not working.
Next. Went through the usual relays and fuses, etc - nothing obvious. I google search, and it is suggested there is a problem with the "Lamp Out Module" (LOM).
Sweet! I found my answer to what the trouble could be. But the million dollar question - where the heck is the LOM? Google only had the issue for an 01/04 Explorer or Sport Trac, nothing for 2007! I followed the posts indicating the location for the older models: I pulled the trim off the console, looked under the dash on both driver & passenger side - I couldn't find anything that resembled the LOM. I am only going by what the replacement part picture looks like, which could be generic but still, I know the difference between a ECU and what *could* be the LOM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I hate having that light out...
Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Dan.
