Description of the problem	Headlight switch on 2005 chrysler town and country and 2005 dodge grand caravan malfunctions while driving. Extremely dangerous while driving at night. The switch on some of these vehicles seem to be installed incorrectly. There are 4 settings on the switch that when connected will turn on the lights appropriately. In some cases the switch is misaligned and the contact will either not work at all, or, make random disconnections. This is extremely dangerous when driving at night as this is a family vehicle, known to have multiple passengers. If the headlight fail at night, this could be deadly. There have been numerous forums, and blogs describing these issues with town and country, and caravan, and grand caravan owners. The failure occurs randomly, and the only way to fix this is to either open/repair the switch, or replace the switch. Currently i am having to flip this switch off and on back and forth until the contacts connect. If it does not work, then i have to drive while i hold the hi-beams on. This is not safe for myself nor other drivers driving toward me.
