The headlights
on my explorer Eddie Bauer 95 only lit up on high beams and on low beams only
the left side worked.
First I replaced
the bulbs and this worked for maybe 5 minutes so I did a bit of research and
found that there is a small headlight control unit under the cup holder in between
the driver and the passenger, I pulled out the plastic in the interior the cup
holder and the trip computer it turns out the piece was under the trip computer
on the lower right it’s a mobile phone size black box with a connection on one side
and 2 Philips screws holding it in place, I pulled the piece out and opened it
up on close inspection one pin on the circuit board looked burnt and the solder
looked cracked I cleaned it out and got out my soldering iron a bit of
soldering paste and soldered it nicely. I then put it back together and plugged
it in tried the headlights and both lit up on low beams and high beams so went ahead
and put everything back together.
I read that
there is a way to by pass this module in case you can’t find the burnt pin or
in case the module is burnt out completely ill try to look it up and post a
reply to this with the how to.
