Some vehicles have separate fuses to each headlight so you won't be left in the dark, so to speak. A light-bulb type circuit tester can tell you if you have power to the socket and you can clip the ground lead to a known good ground. If you have power to the socket, you may have a bad ground connection. The bulb circuit tester is also good for finding bad fuses and bad connections elsewhere.
The fuse it has one for each side left and right
Get a test light and check for power in the socket. If you do have power then you might have a bad ground. Then go to the next step.

This problem is now resolved, thanks to a prior post by sableowner.

The 2003 Sable has the same headlight assembly and removal/replacement instructions as the 2001 Sable. Once I had this information in hand, bulb replacement was easy.

Helps to remove the battery, but small ahbds can do it.
Directly behind the lens is a big round cap ... twist it off. The bulb is held in place with a spring that locks in to a notch in the holder. When handling the new bulb, don't touch the glass. The oil from your skin will cause it to shatter when turned on.
