I've got no low beams! Bulbs are good, high beams work but in the low setting the only thing on is parking lights and foglights. Flash to pass works but I think it's only the highs.
Does this sound like the MF switch?? If so how do I get it out? I pulled the panel off but couldnt figure out how to get the switch out.

the MF switch is held on by 2 small torx bolts. you must remove the ignition cylinder and the plastic cover to get to it.

i have an extra MFswitch if yours is bad

+1 on the multifunction switch. Look at the pigtail that plugs into both it, and your headlight switches. Ford decided to continue running the full amperage through the switch instead of running a relay for the headlights, and they're prone to failure with aging when the wiring deteriorates. LRS (50resto) sells the pigtails to repair the harnesses, if they appear burned/melted at all:
