Nissan calls that box that any fuses for the headlights the "intelligent Power Distribution Module (IPDM)". Now you have a seperate fuse for the high and low beam so I wasn't sure what you needed and if both are out you will need a wiring diagram to check to see what the problem is. Below is a diagram of the fuses in the IPDM. The fuse for the high beam is in the number 38 position and the fuse for the low beam is in the number 45 position. There is also a separate relay for each in that same panel but they can not be removed. They are part of that whole unit. Also below is instructions on how to remove the IPDM including pictures. If you are in need of anything else such as the wiring diagrams of any other information, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I don't mind helping and I should have pretty much any information you need from the factory service manual and the info would be free. I just want to pre-warn you that Nissan has made it quite difficult for the regular "Joe" to work on this vehicle because a lot of things such as your headlights go through a body control module as well as they use what the call a CAN system which in plain terms means things are mostly controlled by a computer and many thing need to be tested with proper equipment. I'm hoping it's just a fuse. The reason the fuse blew (if it did) could be a whole other issue. I hope this helps and good luck.
Turn the engine off, open the hood, and disconnect the negative battery cable (--) with your pliers.
Locate the power distribution box against the firewall on the driver's side of the engine compartment. Flip up the latch and remove the plastic cover.
Determine which headlight fuse you want to replace. The 2001 Ford Focus uses four headlight fuses--one for each headlight. Fuse number 16 is for the passenger side low beam; fuse number 17 is for the driver's side low beam. Fuse number 26 is for the passenger side high beam; fuse number 27 is for the driver's side high beam.
Grasp the fuse with your fingers and pull it straight out of its mount. Insert the new fuse in its place. Replace the plastic cover and reconnect the negative battery cable.
