2004 Chrysler Town and Country: headlights failing or too dim

Filed Jul 10, 2021 · Electrical, Lights · AZ

I went to turn on my headlights, and they didn't come on. All the other lights work. Parking, dash, tail, and the high beam indicator. But no headlights. Also l read that people complained about windshield washer' not working. I tried mine and they also didn't work. I see there is a recall on same problem with the 2005 - 2007 Chrysler town and country limited and they are under a recall. Mine is a 2004 T & Country limited.it My mechanic has checked all the fuses and relay's and can't find anything wrong except for the lights and wind washers not working. I called my Chrysler dealership and they acted like they never heard of the problem. But that's O K with them because they don't have to drive a car without headlights.

This time I was heading down with my family from one of the highest spots at yellowstone national park. My speed was about 45 MPH and two lane road with lot of turns. No other traffic in front or behind me. I turned high beams on and there we go, headlights gone. I pulled quickly fog lights on to have some lights. No other options than continue to the next place where I could pull car to side of the road. When stopped I checked if knocking ECM works but it didn't, normally it does. I released four screws and pulled ECM out. Installed my spare ECM, no lights. I installed the old ECM module back and wiggled it and lights came on. I didn't check on the spot that would I have high beams. 1 hour later when we got to cottage we rented I wanted to know what happen this time when turning high beams on. Lights gone again. This time knocking ECM module helped. I tested high beam and low beams multiple times and no issues. Loosing head light have happen with this vehicle before however the issue is that it is intermittent. I haven't found any logic how to repeat it what makes it scary / uncomfortable.

I found last night when I was about to leave from home for some home depot shopping that my headlights didn't turn on. This is low and high beams. Fog lights, corner lights and indicators work just normally.

Chrysler has discontinued backlighting of door light switches,power door switch,power mirror switch,headlamp switch,and low line window switches. During night time driving, it's very hard to locate these switches without distracting your driving ability. Took the van into dealer to have the lights re-activated (they are there), but service department couldn't enable them. (chrysler has a bulletin on this, #08-018-02.
