2007 Chrysler Town and Country: headlights failing or too dim

Filed May 5, 2023 · Electrical, Lights · UT

The problem appears to be the power module. My van is psychotic. Problem usually occurs when headlights are on, although sometimes AC will also do it. Headlights and/or wipers will randomly turn off (or on, though the off is what is scary and dangerous.) Entire electrical system is unreliable. Sometimes engine just shuts off, dash lights randomly blink, TPMS light illuminates randomly when pressure is good. Battery stops charging, although alternator and battery test good. I have had both wipers and headlights fail while driving at night in the rain. I will put a date of two years ago, and the problem still persists. Chrysler no longer sells this part. Vehicle has a lifetime power train warranty, but is a death trap to drive.

Passenger side headlight does not operate on low beam. Occasionally will come on when driving on rough surfaces but will go out again. Serious safety defect and a know issue with the tipm (fuse box under hood) being diagnosed as the problem by a reputable mechanic. Headlight bulb has been replaced, headlight assembly has been replaced (they were "foggy" anyway), fuses have been replaced, headlight switch has been tested (swapped with a known good switch) and the headlight is still not working. Blubs used on passenger side were tested on driver side and are working properly. Numerous instances of this issue have been reported, many videos and articles on-line regarding the issue and still no resolution from the manufacturer. Do people have to die before they do a recall and accept responsibility for their design flaw with the circuit board in the tipm and it is corrected?

The headlights randomly go out while the switch is in the on position. They may work fine for 10 minutes or an hour, then go dark. If I wiggle the headlight switch I can sometimes get them to come back on briefly, but it is truly hit and miss if they will stay on or not. There does not appear to be any particular 'sweet spot' on the switch and it does not appear to be affected by smooth or bumpy roads. It is quite scary and dangerous especially on the dark mountain roads I have to drive.
