2003 Dodge Grand Caravan lights problems

Filed Jan 28, 2012 · Electrical, Lights · 123,000 miles · MD

While driving, the left headlamp stopped working. It started working again a few minutes later, and has continued to turn on and off for no apparent reason. High beams work ok. The same problem occurred with two different bulbs. When the ignition is off, I can turn on the headlights, but the left light has a slight delay turning on. When I turn the ignition on, the left headlight goes out. I cannot find any relays or fuses for the headlights. Two mechanics have looked at the problem, and have not been able to fix it. This seems to be a common problem on the web, but I can't find any solutions.

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the vehicles exterior lighting system failed which also decreased the visibility. While driving 65 MPH at night, the windshield wipers came on, when the contact tried to turn on the low beams. The weather was not a factor. The contact stated that when the right turn signal was activated the left turn signal came on instead. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The contact replaced the electrical unit himself, and found that there was oil in the electrical unit. The contact retained the electrical unit for examination. The contact also stated that the vehicle functioned properly after the electrical unit was replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000. The current mileage was approximately 119,000.

The headlights just turn off by themselves. No warning. Extremely dangerous at night. This has occurred about 7 times. Very intermittent, but nearly ran off the road on one occasion. The car was completely black and I couldn't find the switch to toggle it back and forth. They have always come back on after turning the switch off then back on a couple of times.

Car started. Headlights switched on, but headlights did not illuminate, others lights did. Switch was not the problem. Turned car off, turned on headlights, which now worked, and started car. It was purchased new and headlight switch was replaced about two years ago due to headlights going out while driving at night.

All of my vehicle lights continuously flicker. A very noticeable change in the intensity of the headlights, marker lights, tail lights, interior lights and instrument lights occurs whenever the engine is running.

Bought van used about a yr ago - is a 2003 dodge grand caravan- issues since purchase not satifyingly dealt with are ( between end dec 05 to mid nov 06- noticed brakes noises since bought it - several calls and a check they said there was dust making the noise - less than 9 mo later needed to replace the pads and rotars - they made excuses they wear out - had they informed me they were wearing out when they found dust id have had them in long before needing rotars fixed - since new brakes and rotars in october hear same noise and they dismiss it. Also - have trouble with lights and heat and electrical components dimming and seeming to die out when decelerating a lot since I bought it - had it in ad called several times - they say they cant see anything wrong adn that dodge was made to do that ? . Not happy with my purchase and feel I am out near 20,000 - also ABS light came on shortly after brakes repaired this month- covered item but less than deductible so stuck with near 85 dollar bill - they said again this just happens - seems that is standard answer to trouble it just happens - I dont feel the brakes just happened and I am sure the light trouble could be a hazard if it stalled completely on a busy road. Dodge should look closer at thier vehicles. Am also gonna check out vehicle for the other trouble stated here in regards to seatbelts and cracks - have children and that is major safety issue - if it happens and anyone is hurt you can bet ill be running to a lawyer - same with the down idle with brrakeing and ABS going out - just praying for no injuries - note that printout I recieved today has old owners stuff on it and noticed that the noise from tires and front is not a new problem thay had it in several times also for it. Oh - and guess what they charge for a 2 inch trailer hitch ball - 89.00!!! Had I known that id have gone to walmart and paid wayyyy less. All for the cashola an not the good of th customer I suppose huh?

Headlights and interior lights flicker 2 1/2 year old vehicle currently has 49,00 miles headlights have always seemed to flicker. Occasionally interior lights do the same. Dealer suggests replacing several modules at significant cost. I see from the federal safety agency web site that a recall is/was to be issued for 2000-2002. Based on number of complaints in systems seems it should be extended to 2003.

More and more often headlights flicker or go off completely while driving. It is very unnerving and unsafe since sometimes I don't realize they are off even though the switch is in the on position. Sometime they come back on, other times I have to turn the switch off and on quickly. Nobody can trace the problem so far.
