Every time I start my van a different headlight works and sometimes all of them. Replaced the front Control Module twice and still the same with used part cost of front control module $650.00 new at the dealer.
After talking to a Chrysler dealership, it is a common problem with 2001 up to 2006 and no recall. Chrysler says headlights not working is not a safety issue.
It turned out to be a faulty fuse box and new is $870.00 plus $300.00 to reprogram all the computers and installation .
About $1500.00 to get your headlights to work.
Used fuse boxes may not program right.
Solution, rewire the lights bypassing the fuse box and installing a fuseable link and switch.
Not sure on costs yet.
This has been a issue for a few years now.
Whatever happened to a on/off switch or have all the lights start when you turn on your vehicle.
I think Chrysler wants me to bail them out of bankruptcy.
Update from Mar 9, 2015:
If you have a Dodge van with headlight issues this might be a cheap fix
There is a fix you can try for the headlight problem with Dodge vehicles
This is a known issue when a bulb blows. The burned out bulb caused the TIPM to turn the circuit off. You need to reset the TIPM by one of 3 methods:
1) disconnect the negative cable from the battery over night
2) disconnect both cables from the battery and hold them together for 10 minutes
3) have the dealer reset it.
I tried a ton of different ways to resolve this problem until I found you could reset the TIPM myself with the turn of a wrench. Blast you Dodge for trying to get even MORE of my hard-earned money.
