I have a 1988 ford escort?
Answers:
I would doubt that both head lights would fail at the same time so I think the problem is a fuse, but it may blow again if you have a short in the wire system to the head lights.
Check the bulbs and the fuses - one of the other have blown (more likely to be the bulb tho!)
ok, first what the hell are dipped headlights? probbaly what happened is you had the headlight relay go out, probbaly not a fuse, since it probably would also be on the circuit for the markers too. Maybe the switch is out on the stalk, doubt both lights blew at the same time. if you have a mulitmeter, use continuity setting to test both bulbs, turn on the switch with the igniton on and see if you got 12 volts to the socket, locate the relay and make sure it looks decent, you can test the relay for continuity but you need to know what pins to test across, check the ohms also. last is checking the switch itself, but that requires removing the steering wheel and the coloum trim, and if you havent got a clue whats making the headlights inop you prolly should not do that.
This may actually be your light switch. If it's on a stalk you'll probably need a new stalk, or if it's a seperate switch that will need replacing.
It's not uncommon for both bulbs to have blown. People don't notice one has blown until the other blows and you're left with no light. It can be frustrating checking switches, fuses and wiring just to find out it was the bulbs.
That is quit normal on that model
