One problem related to high/low beam switch has been reported for the 2001 Dodge Dakota. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When switching from high beams to low beams I lost my headlights - and this is apparently a very big problem with these vehicles. This is a huge safety problem. I have to quickly switch back and forth many many times to regain my lights. As I understand this is the multi-function switch in the steering column. . . This is a 2001 Dodge 2500 4x4, quad cab, diesel pickup. I belong to a website for these trucks and it is a common complaint!.
