Locate the headlight relay and from there to the bulb socket start checking for voltage with a meter or even a simple “ice pick” circuit tester… ---

Check for voltage from the dimmer switch at the left low beam fuse & that the fuse isnt blown. Next stop in the circuit is the LOM/lamps out warning module. A common problem on some Fords is a bad solder joint in the LOM. Reflow the solder & problem solved. Next in line is the wiring to the bulb.
