Headlight Switch problems of the 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan

Headlight problem: vehicle has daytime running lights. With headlights off, driving with daytime running lights only the left headlamp is illuminated. When the headlights are turned on the low beam on the rh side illuminates, but not the left. When the headlights are switched to high beam, the lh lamp illuminates but the rh does not. Internet chat discussions indicate this is a very common problem. I first noticed this problem a week ago and replaced the headlight bulbs, which did not solve the problem. I will now try a solution to improve the connections from the control module to the fuse block, as indicated by several contributors to an online discussion forum.

When turning on the headlights, only the right headlight will light on low beams. When switching to high beams, only the left high beam will illuminate.

Last Wednesday morning on my way to work about 4am, while passing a semi on the freeway, my headlights went out for about 4-5 seconds. They came back on and have operated without a problem since. I purchased the minvan new, (ordered it), and it has given me troublefree miles since it's inception on the roads in michigan, as expected by a daimlerchrysler minivan. There was a cause for concern on this single issue only, and as I did call the dealer about it, it was simply suggested that I get it in for them to look at it. What good is that when it has occured only once. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . So far. Just wanted it on the record without getting "tossed or sidelined". Thank you kindly.

Since 8/25/04 30153 miles I have had light switch problems. First it was the interior lights that would turn on and off all the time. Dealer said switch was working normal. (it was like an old radio volume switch that made noise, if you kept moving the switch it would bet better for a while and then start up again)then 2/14/06 41931 miles my headlights started to flicker when I had the lights on (the headlight and dimmer are all in one unit) and the dealer did TSB 08-005-04 (which doesn't even apply to my vehicle) and charged me $41. 50. Finally on 9/7/06 46022 miles it started again and I drove right down so the dealer could actually see it while it happened and they did witness the problem and made an appointment. Of course the tech. That witnessed it was on vacation when it went in for the appt. And they couldn't duplicate the problem again, after speaking with the dealership they replaced the switch and charged me $100 for my deductible which should have been covered under my regular warranty if they fixed it right in the first place back in 2004 or even in 2006 the 2nd time it was in and also paid the $100 for other warranty work.
