2005 Chrysler Town and Country lights problems

Filed Sep 10, 2024 · Lights · MO

Headlights: low beams do not work at all but high beams do. Second time this vehicle has had the same problem. Last time Chrysler replaced under a lifetime replacement, just short of a recall yet here I am having the same problem again.

Sometimes when I turn the headlight switch on, the headlights do not come on. I have noticed it happens stationary and in motion.

While driving on rural road at night, shortly after turning right and disabling windsheild wipers: the headlights and entire instrumental panel completely shut off working without warning. Pulling back on the blinker lever and holding it back activated the brights and those worked. After toggling headlight switch off and back on, instrument panel and headlights reactivated. This failure mode doesn't exactly match ea11010, which claims that the instrument panel remains in operation while only the headlights fail. However I am unclear on whether my van's problem could still be at least partly caused by the headlight switch, so I will replace it at my own cost. My chrysler dealership tells me they will only replace the switch under warranty if they can reproduce the problem, and otherwise they will charge a $150 diagnostic fee... More than the cost of the switch! I'm not falling for that trick! I am very disappointed with the decision to not resolve ea11010 with a recall. Headlights failing without warning at any time is a real safety issue, and it is too intermittent to diagnose on demand. Thus a recall is the only appropriate response to ensure safety. Instead, in order to proactively protect my family, I am forced to spend my own money for replacement. I thought the federal safety agency was here to help?

During the driving, headlights went out at 55 MPH and I made several attempts to toggle the switch and headlights came on. After a long period with this issue, it gets worse, it takes me at least 2-3 minutes toggling the swtich to turn it on. It is not safe to drive with this issue. Headlight switch is recalled by chrysler but it doesn't apply on my vehicle.

Since about march of this year, our van headlamps will not turn on with the switch. It takes playing with the switch several times before they go on. Recently the headlights randomly go off as we are driving, we have to pull over and play with the switch to get the lights to go on. Also as we park and turn the car off, sometimes the headlights or the dash lights will go on by themselves. Currently we are having to jump the car often as if there is a drain on the battery. We took the battery to the location where it was bought and they tested the system, and battery and charging system passed all test. In other incidents which may or not be related our power sliding doors are not working properly. The left side does not function at all, and the right side closes and opens when the button is depressed. It takes two tries before it locks properly. When we take the van to the local dealer they know nothing of these issues, and have been quoted $300-600 to repair each incidents. We appreciate any and all assistance regarding these issues.

I was driving g south on interstate 35 as I was entering the intersection where interstate 35 , 80 , 235 meet a semi hauling what looked like gravel was merging onto 235 at the same time I was . All of a sudden all my vehicle lighting went dark and the truck driver saw me.. I was frantically trying to get them on and I did not see him and just when he merged he saw me and slammed on his brakes . Resulting in my vehicle being pelted with sand and rock . My wind shield had numerous dings in it and since it was totally dark I didn't notice them till it was to late to stop him . My lights go off and on and until it's fixed I can't drive after dark. I went to the local chrysler dealer only to find out it was not covered under any warranty and since I am a disabled veteran I do not have the money at this time to get the lights fixed and now the windshield is cracked.
