Headlights turning off during any driving ,stationary,city highway night day rain cold warm all the above antime any condition.flickering sometimes staying off most of the time need to hold passing flash brights on to still atleast have light sometimes dosent work all the time. Months now.
My headlights are flickering I see many car complaints about the tipm relay and want it fixed under the recall I could have had a car accident this issue should have been fixed
Was driving home at night when randomly my lights started flashing, horn started blaring, windshield wipers started going off, washer fluid was spraying everywhere. Locks were locking and unlocking. I ended up driving into someone's lawn as I could not see properly with poor lighting and all the distractions. Once I got home the vehicle continued to be possessed even without the key in the ignition. I was finally able to get everything to stop after unplugging the battery. Upon internet research it didn't take long to realize it was tipm fuse box issue, I have found several other customers with the same box having the same issues. I have gone to the junkyard 3 times and grabbed a used tipm fuse box replacement. The first replacement the car would not start. Second replacement there was a lot of trouble lights on the dash and the odometer did not work. With my most recent replacement the headlights don't work. So including my original tipm , that's 4 faulty tipms. Do you notice a problem or pattern here?
Many issues, appear to be related to the tipm. Headlights intermittently stop working, as do the windshield wipers(various times, when driving/when starting the car). Car horn beeps when driver door is opened. Air conditioner/heater intermittently stops working (when driving), will usually come back on after pulling over and restarting the car. Very dangerous in the winter.
Wipers, lights, horn,door locks all seemed to go off went no warning wipers start spraying fluid by itself. Could not get to stop windows would not work, had to pull horn fuses to make horn stop blowing disconnect battery to make sure it would start to have it taken to be looked at very disappointed in vehicle only 81,500 miles on it
2008 dodge caravan sxt, experiencing wipers with fluid coming on randomly with lights flashing, doors locking and unlocking and horn blowing erratically. I have also experienced the TPMS,ABS and traction control lights coming on and off while driving.
When clicking off my high beams, my wipers came on. I was unable to shut them off. At the same time my high beams, turn signals and rear wiper stopped working. While my front wipers were going non-stop despite being shut off, the washer fluid did not work (front and back). When I took it to my garage I was told the tipm had to be replaced but it was currently on national back order and they didn't know when they could get their hands on one. For the time being I have had to make due with disconnecting the battery for 7-10 minutes and then all systems work again, I am not sure how long this will work for but currently the only option.
I complained about this before and it is only getting worse!!!! I won't put washer fluid in my van a waste of money!!!! I took out the horn fuses because of the defect and it is only getting worse because now when it happens my head lights don't work!!!! I was driving to the hospital for surgery when it was dark out and the wipers started going and now when it happens my headlights don't work!!! I don't feel like it is my responsibility to fix the problem!!!! Why should I have to pay 500 dollars to fix a problem when it should be recalled!!!!
Head lights flickered several times and then stayed off. This has continued intermittently since november. Sometimes the headlights stay on, sometimes they don't. 8/1/2014-headlights don't work at all. I have taken to a dodge dealer in december who told me it would cost $700 but couldn't guarantee it wouldn,t continue to happen. I have taken it to 2 private garages who have told me the same thing. It's not the bulbs. They believe it is a problem in the electrical system.
