I just replaced my [headlights](/topics-headlight-ford/). Before I did the replacement, the passenger side light went out. But now, both of them are out. I am receiving power for the \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\*ghts, but not the low beam. High beams still work. Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the fuses? Have you checked the bulbs? Bulbs are brand new. Don't know what fuse to check. Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2013 Ford Focus. Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Focus yourself? What have you tried so far? I am fixing it myself. I have only replaced the bulbs. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? Nothing that I can think of.

Welcome to Just Answer I'm Chris aka Moose, I'm sorry you are having problems with your Focus. I will do my best to help you get this resolved. If I happen to be helping another or step away during our communication, please know I will follow up as soon as I am back available/online. I try to be online for about 10+ hours a day, midday and late-night shift. The BCM body control module provides power to your low beams. Not through fuses nor relays. A scan tool is needed to see if the BCM is being told you want the low beams on from the steering column switch. If so then the BCM has failed. Thank you for visiting Just Answer, I hope I was able to answer your question. If you need to follow up on this concern please use the reply button. If you like my answer please reply so I can mark your question complete. Moose
