I have a 98 Mountaineer 2wd v8 engine 178k miles. My headlights recently started working intermitently and now they dont work at all. I can flash my bights but that is all. I have tried replacing the bulbs and have checked all the fuses and have had no luck.

Any help would be great!

Check fuse # 11 in the fuse box, and fuses # 11 and 12 in the power distrbution box on the right front of the engine compartment, if all are good check for a loose ground wire, here are the ground locations.

If that doesnt work you will need to test the autolamp relay, if it has autolamps, and the mulifunction switch on the column...
