| Description of the problem | 2005 dodge caravan, headlights just go out a night for no reason. Also at times, when you turn the headlights on they do not come on. Other times when you turn them off they do not turn off unless you turn them on and off a few times. This started about 7 months ago, now it is becoming a real safety issue. I contacted dodge and they advised me to bring the vehicle in for evaluation and they will run diagnostic tests or i can just have the switch replaced. They advised me that this does not happen often with this vehicle. |
