I'd say the headlight switch itself. The parking light is probably unrelated.

Drivers side low beam does not work. Both high beams work fine. I replaced the bulb and the low beam still does not work. Any ideas?

Is it getting any DC voltage when you turn it on?

Some cars are fused in funny ways. Check the fusing, then do as burdawg says and check for voltage at the connector as it plugs into the light...sometimes corrosion gets in there.

My door is "a door", not "ajar" !!! by boboli

I have a Ford Expedition. The interior lights stay lit, and the dummy lights say there is "a door ajar". I've narrowed it down to the rear passenger side door. I cannot find any switch on the door jam, and am not sure where to look inside the door, or frame. Does anybody know where to find the sticky switch before I pull apart all of the trim molding? THings like that usually upset my wife because I never put it back the right way.

isn't it in the lock itself on those cars?

That is a thought. That door also has a child safety switch that will lock itself at times. Any ideas on what to look at, or how to test?
 
Thanks for any help.

sorry no, I have just heard that this is where that dome light switch is. I'd suggest going to the Explorer topic (see make/model drop down window to left of this page) and then once there use the "search" feature and plug in "door switch" or "short in dome light".

yes, the door ajar switch is in the latch, I have "fixed" several of them in the past (mostly on taurus's) by just spraying some penetrating fluid in the latch, and working it for a bit, in fact, out of the dozen or so I've seen, Ive only had to actually replace 1, dont even take the panal off, just spray directly into the latch and work it back and forth.
