The low beam on the drivers side of my truck listed above 1500 SLE isn't working. I replaced the bulb and it still does not work. All other lights are working fine. Any thoughts on what the problem is?

Hi,

Each beam on each side has its own fuse. Check fuse 11 in the under hood fuse box. I attached two pics below indicating which one.

Here are a few links you may find helpful:

If the fuse is good, you will need to check for power at the light socket. The socket itself may be bad.

Regardless, let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
