1 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2018

When the key is out of the ignition,and the headlight switch is off, the parking lights come on and go off intermittently. Sometimes I wake up to a dead battery.

2 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2015

Currently have about 86,000 on the vehicle. The headlights, more and more, are deciding to refuse to turn on. There is no darkness indicator, just an old-fashioned turn knob with three settings (off, parking lights, headlights). Also, the headlights when working, decide to not switch off when the knob is turned to off. This is intermittent and, so far, mechanics have been unable to diagnose the problem. I see from other sites that many, many people are having these problems with these minivans and eventually, if not already, somebody is going to die when these lights cut off unexpectedly.

Driving down the road at night headlamps suddenly without warning turn off. This has happened randomly several times since. Usually jiggling the headlight switch will turn them back on again.
