Description of the problem	One day all of the sudden the headlights won't come on. Neither when turned on or in auto. And then all of the sudden started working again without even popping the hood up. A couple days later, during night time, i went to switch the low beam to high beam and puff, no lights at all while driving 40mph in a hill country side in a pitch black night. I switched back to low beam and nothing... Scary times... I've ended up pulling over the side (only half of the truck since it was on the hill side), turn hazard blinkers on ... And besides the dangerous of the situation i was not going to move without having any type of illumination. Less than a minute later, the lights come back on by it self.... Talking about annoying and scary times. Since then, i have changed the light bulbs twice, rechecked the wires, used the brush wire on the connectors and the issue still happening. But since there are not "fuses" anymore and the lights are controlled by the tipm, i don't have the $1350 the chrysler dealer wants for a new tipm unit and re-programming it. Ridiculous!! And the worse part is... They cannot guarantee the issue will be resolved. What a 50 cent fuse could fix now it is part of something integrated that is faulty and render the whole system useless at night time. These past 2 days, the headlights won't come up at all, i checked with a voltmeter and there is no power coming up on either of the headlamps connectors (left or right side).
