| Description of the problem | I have been having intermittent issues with my headlamps not turning on. If i jiggle the fuse box or pull the relay out they will come on. The issue has gotten progressively worse to the point that i have to manipulate the fuse box to get my headlights on at all. All other lights work. I feel very unsafe in my van since i have to pop the hood every time i need headlights and sometimes it can take several minutes before they work. As a woman it is not safe to be in a public place with my van hood up. I would like to see dodge correct this defect! |
